CAS Happy Birthday

Hello, I'm so excited to be taking part in another class at  Online Card Classes .  This time it's Clean and Simple Cardmaking 2.

Love the way these classes are run and I always come away learning a ton of great tips and new techniques.

Today's card is based on Julie Ebersole's sketch from the class.  

I used watercolor paper and painted the background with Twinkling H2O's (Key Lime mainly and then a slight wash of Autumn Skies).  Once that dried I stamped the background with Stamper's Best Harlequin Script Background in Frost White ink form ColorBox.  The Decorative label punch and Real Red ink are from Stampin' UP!  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

I'm entering this in the Moxie Fab challenge celebration of the release of 75 Creative Card  Challenges. The challenge is to make your own background paper.

Thanks for dropping by.
