It's time to make some birthday cards at Addicted to Stamps and More! I hadn't had a chance to use a background stamp gifted to me by my friend Glenda, so out it came:
I wanted an undersea look, so after embossing the jellyfish in white on watercolour paper, I added blue and purple watercolour powders, trying to add the purple where it would highlight a few of the jellyfish. The blue powder I used has a shimmer that didn't want to appear in my pics. Once the panel was dry, I die cut it and wrapped my torn-vellum sentiment around the edges to avoid any pesky adhesive showing through. I mounted the panel on a purple mat and added everything to the card base.
Beautiful birthday cards made by my ATSM teammates can be found on the blog - take a look and then I hope you'll join us!

I love the watery look on this pretty card, Lindsey. Great job on getting the purple in the right places too! Such a good choice to use the vellum so as not to hide too much of that gorgeous background.
Take care,
Hugs

Wow great card using powders, you seem to have a good control of them. (not me) The colours are beautiful and a great card design.
Lindsey, This came out so well! I just love it and gasped when I saw it! Such great colors and control with the powders!
WOW ! This is gorgeous ! I'm totally in love with your card. This background stamp is so beautiful and you highlighted it perfectly with your watercoloring. Such lovely colours !
That background is so pretty! Love it!
Your jellyfish card is simply sensational! Beautiful use of the powders and I'm sure that blue shimmer is stunning in real life! Vellum for the sentiment is perfect!
