CC415 - Masculine Birthday Card

Photo Details

Poster: flaxychick

Todays color challenge was a great opportunity to make a masculine birthday card. I wanted something natural, so I used a set from Gina K which has the pretty leaf stamp. I watercolored the background with SU watercolor crayons then went over it with pearlescent watercolor paints in a cream color so the layer has a pretty sheen to it. The main leaf was stamped on vanilla and colored with copics.

Thanks for looking

That leafy background is stunning, especially with the dark blue inked edges.
