Simple Watercolor Birthday Cards

Hello everyone! Lien here from Studio Kato, back again with another video and blogpost for WOW! Today I got out my watercolors after a good long while of not really using them and I had so much fun with it. 

For this set of cards I just wanted to pair some of my favorite embossing powders with watercolors. I stamped and painted in the backgrounds and added some sentiments. Easy birthday cards in colors and patterns that would work well for any recipient. 

For the blue card I used the Hexagon stamp by WOW, stamped it in WOW Ultra Slow Drying embossing ink and used the Vintage Peacock embossing powder for it. I heatset it, die cut it with one of the Double Stitched Rectangle dies by The Ton and colored it in with watercolors.

I propped it up on a piece of cardboard for extra dimension and added a die cut sentiment from the Happiest Hellos by The Stamp Market + a sub sentiment from the Inside Birthday Sentiments stamp set by Honey Bee Stamps. 

For my second card, I stamped a pattern on some watercolor cardstock using the Tropical Leaves stamp set by Reverse Confetti. I used the Royal Emerald embossing powder by WOW and heatset it. This one I die cut a little larger with the Double Stitched Staxx Dies by My Favorite Things. 

I also gave this one some extra dimension with a piece of cardboard. The sentiment die I used here is from Reverse Confetti and belongs in the Hooray and Cheers Word Duo Die set. I used another subsentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps stamp set and finished both cards with the matt pearls in gold and silver from Pinkfresh Studio.
