Hey,
Hope you all had a great weekend. I had fun out and about in NYC with various friends. It was great to see my friend Steph and hang out with her.
I have some exciting news to share, but can't do it until Wednesday..
Talking of Wednesday, this weeks SSS Wednesday challenge is 'Watercolours'
I decided to use a Silhouette cut file and settled on the fun 'Happy Bird-Day' - its actually the front of a card file, that I modified.
I used a Prang watercolour palette (red and purple) and a flat 1/2inch brush. I went over the background with a wink of stella brush for a bit of shimmer. I added a bit of bling for some extra sparkle.
It was only after I photographed my card that I realised it was quite similar to a card by Jo on the DT - great minds think alike! The funny part is, I actually cut the file in black, but couldn't get it to pop against the watercolour background.
I am really pleased with my card - I''m happy that I left the raw edges of the background and didn't tidy it up.

I love it and the raw edges add to the artistry - love this though I love a good pun in a greeting more than anything so that has me chuckling away! x
