Today we are celebrating a special birthday.
I hope you have a wonderful day and this very special blog hop makes you smile!
This card was so much fun to create. I embossed the image on watercolor paper. Using a paint brush and water, I colored in the image with PTI ink. I used: Enchanted Evening, Berry Sorbet, Pinefeather, Spring Moss, Spring Rain, Summer Sunrise, and Simply Chartreuse. When I was finished paitning I die cut the focal point, inked and then gold embossed the edges.
Stop by and visit all of the others who are wishing Kim a Happy Birthday!
