I’m feeling the teals and grays today. I pulled out one of my favorite Unity Stamp Company Front & Center sentiment sets plus a few other goodies for a pretty birthday card with simple watercoloring.

The Details

I’m digging the combo of watercoloring with just 2 ink colors, how about you? I love when you can still create a lovely card with just simple supplies. Stamps, inks, a little water, and a few die cuts are all you need to create this beauty.

Distress Colors: Salvage Patina, Peacock Feathers, and Hickory Smoke

Watercolor Tip: Keep things simple with your watercolor and focus on dabbing the color at the base of each petal and leaf. Let the ink do its thing and leave quite a bit of white space at the top of the petal or leaf.
