Happy Birthday

 

Hello and welcome

I hope you are all staying safe and well and managing to do some crafting.

As I was looking through some papers where I had played with some different inks and watercolour techniques.

I found this one that was quite bright, so I thought it was perfect for the bokeh effects. I had a stencil I had made previously and used Hero Arts White ink to add the circles. By the next morning, much of the ink had sunk into the watercolour paper, so I added some more circle using just the end of the ink dauber.

I decided to use it to join the Newton’s Nook challenge and downloaded a freebie, which I coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

After layering 2 pieces of vellum over a piece of white card, I added it to the centre to make the background for this cute little bird!

I added layers of Wink of Stella over the balloon.

The heat embossed sentiment is from Altnew – Label Love set.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.  I love to read your comments.

Stay safe in these difficult times and have a good day

Cheers

Helen
