Let's start out the new year of 2020 with the January watercolor challenge at Happy Little Stampers. As always, the challenge is Anything Goes with the option of using Die Cuts.
I recently spent approximately a month in Florida puppy sitting for some friends. I was unable to take my studio with me so I narrowed my creative soul to watercolor. I stamped many images and colored them but I also cruised around Pinterest and found creations I wanted to attempt to try. This is one of the little art pieces I did. It is amazing how some black doodles will bring a blob of paint to life.
This is a very odd sized card because who was thinking of making a card when you were playing. I liked it so well I wanted to make it into a birthday card for my daughter. I think she will like it and appreciate it. She was a very good artist when she was in high school.
The die cut is a circle birthday sentiment from My Favorite Things. The entire circle did not fit on the card any place but if I cut it in half I had a couple spots I could add it without covering up the birds. I added the black and white stripe paper from My Favorite Things and then since it is a birthday card, I had to add just a little bling - a tiny strip of blue glitter paper.
Here is some close ups of the birds.
I am so glad Pinterest is out there to help us "wanna be" artists have a starting point.
Please come play with the January watercolor challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

Those birds are so adorable! And I love the sketchy feel of your card 💕
This is brilliant! The only drawback is that it's not a stamp set I can add to my wish list. ;) A totally fun birthday card!
Those birds are so cute and colourful Barb. Love the way you used the Happy Birthday die.
This is a gorgeous creation Barb, well done! And the way you added the diecut is brilliant! I might just try that one day too! Happy New Year! Hugs, Gwendolyn

That is such a fun card! And what a clever idea to cut the diecut in half to fit.
Such a fun card with all those cute birdies..
This is such a fun card, Barb! I love those bright little birds and the die cut semi- circle is perfect along with the DP and strip of glitz!!!:)
