Stampin' Up! Watercolor Words for a Fall Birthday!

Hey there! Today I'm going shopping with my 9-months-pregnant daughter, Alisa. She has a few little things she still wants to find for her new (and first!) daughter. She's due on Sunday, so not much longer to wait!

I created today's card with Watercolor Words, Vintage Leaves, and another one of the Seasonal Decorative Masks in the Holiday catalog. This was one of those cards that when I finished it, I was like, "meh", but when I go up this morning and saw it with "fresh eyes", I liked it!

I used a Sponge Brayer to apply Soft Sky ink through the paisley decorative mask. I applied the ink more boldly in the center, then used less ink around the edges for a softer look. It was quick and easy to use the mask and the brayer to decorate the envelope flap.

I stamped-off Cajun Craze ink on the leaf before stamping over the sponged paisley to keep with the softer background look.

I stamped the Watercolor Words greeting with Island Indigo, then added a few gold sequins to give this flat card a bit of sparkle.

I sponged with the mask again for the inside and used a Grateful Bunch sentiment.

A pretty simple card! Go to my online store to get your supplies: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
