I would like to show you another card I made with a couple of techniques I am not used to: acuarelle background and embossing with powders. This is the card I made:
I used mainly green and blue acuarelles for the background on a watercolor cardstock. I used a rubber stamps with Happy Birthday sentiment with some glue pad for embossing powder, I used a blue one and the heating tool, I think I can improve... I used a blue-greenish textured cardstock for the mat. I also used some dew drops and green baker twine to embellish the card.
