It’s your birthday- metallic watercolour card

Prepare the Yupo background as per the illustrated step-by-step skill builder and allow it to dry thoroughly.

Cut the contrasting area to measure 3¼x6¾”, then repeatedly stamp the flower and the leaves all over the panel, whilst dabbing off the ink in between stamping.

Adhere this panel onto a 1/8” larger black panel, then onto the card front.

Adhere the gold Washi sheet onto a piece of the white cardstock and die-cut the large sentiment.

Stamp the second part of the sentiment onto white cardstock and adhere both onto the card front to finish.

Stamp onto the inked panel, pressing well if using a larger stamp. A stamping tool can help, but isn’t essential.

Use a dry paper towel to dab off the Alcohol Lift-Ink from the stamped image. Once dry to touch you can rub off the remainder ink revealing the stamped image.

Work fast! Whilst your stamp is still inked up, stamp off onto a white cardstock – you can use this for a co-ordinating card design.
