April Birthdays Are The Best!

I'm looking forward to each of the monthly birthday stamp sets PTI has this year.  I think it's a nice way to personalize a card a bit more.

I used a gelato on this card for my watercolor look.  I rubbed a bit of the gelato on my Tim Holtz non-stick kraft sheet, and using a brush with a little water, applied the ink to a piece of watercolor paper.  I used a thinner (90#) paper for this card since I knew I wouldn't be using a lot of water.  The ink is just randomly stroked on the paper.

I stamped the sentiment in black ink onto white cardstock, backed it with a piece of Tropical Teal cardstock and placed the circles on foam tape.  To complete the card, I wrapped white twine around the bottom and tied a bow.
