A Subtle Birthdaycard using the Birthday Blooms Stamp Set with aquick Watercolour Wash Technique Stampin Up UK

Oops, I came back in from the workshop just now and sat at my PC to upload some more video's, took a peek at the blog, only to realise I had forgotten to give you an intro!! Sack me someone please!
So here it is, if somewhat belated

Today I have been playing around with the Watercolour Wash Background Stamp, and have lots of test runs to share with you. The 3 pigment ink pads remained the same, but I played around with the amount of water I added to the stamp, as well as how I cogitated the water to encourage the inks to blend. I hope you enjoy the results of my mornings labour.

Run the cut through your Big Shot with the Multipurpose Platform sandwich as follows - Cutting Plate, Die (face up), Cardstock (face down), & Crease Mat
3.  Now Die Cut the Rose Thinlets in the usual way, using another piece of Rich Razzelberry Cardstock.; using the Fine Tip Glue Pen, adhere the die cut onto the embossed cardstock (it is worth the extra effort as it gives another dimension to the embossed image)
4.  Adhere the embossed cardstock onto the the card base

5. Stamp the label outline stamp, and then stamp the sentiment inside the label image  using the Basic Black Classic Ink Pad onto a scrap of Shimmery White Cardstock & Die cut the label (part of the bundle); pop the label up using Stampin dimensionals
