Water Colored Birthday Balloons


Been awhile since I have been able to do much card making.  Busy with kids home from school and baby on the way.  It was great to escape to my craft room and make a couple of cards.  Both cards were inspired by the Mama Elephant challenge.

I stamped the Bunny and Balloons on a watercolor card stock than coated the image with liquid masking.  I die cut some clouds from masking paper and applied them before doing a wash of water color.  The balloons and bunny were water colored after the sky dried and I removed the  masking fluid.  I added Wink of Stella to the balloons, this was a bit tricky because it activated the watercolors so I had to clean the brush between different colored balloons.
The stamps I used are from ME's "Up and Away " stamp set.
I will be back with another card for this challenge.
