Birthday Wishes

This card is the same technique posted 4/26/14 using PTI's Make It Monday #161 - "Watercolor Splats".  I liked the technique so much I wanted to make another card.

I used three different colors of Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Evergreen Bough, Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass to achieve this look.  I used a blending tool to apply the ink, hoping to get a nice ombre look - I think I succeeded!.  I sprinkled droplets of water on the image to get the "splats". 

I die-cut "birthday" from the center of the panel.  On a piece of black cardstock, I die-cut "birthday" again and inlaid it in the center of the card.  I stamped wishes underneath in black ink and adhered the panel to a white cardstock card base.  I really like how the black stands out with the blue background!
