Nautical Happy Birthday


I am just popping in quickly to share a card I made for several challenges.  I used the Gradient Watercolor Die Cuts technique taught in this week's Make it Monday #251 video.  The die I used was the PTI Waves cover plate, and I used a variety of Zig water color pens.



I am also entering this card at Curtain Call Sail On, AAA Cards #66: Watercolour, CAS Mixup June Challenge: Stamping+die cuts+your choice (water coloring), Addicted to Stamps and More Anything Goes and Seize the Birthday without topping.









Thanks for Visiting
