365 Days of Cards

Today was a quick birthday card as we are in the middle of priming and painting the basement. Carpet goes down on Thursday and we still have a long to-do list. I used the retired Surf's Up paper pack and Picture My Life cards to create a simple birthday card.

I have not used my watercolor  paints as much as I should so when I was going through my stamp sets and found the Surf's Up Workshop on the Go stamp set I decided it was perfect to create a simple water card using three colors in the watercolor paints and Lagoon  and Honey ink. I definitely recommend using the watercolor paper   from Close to My Heart when painting as it does not curl up! Have a fantastic Monday!

I am working on using up old paper and lowering my stash of paper! I used the retired Surf's Up paper and complements along with the current Finding the Words  stamp set. I cut the square for the sentiment from the Art Philosophy Cartridge at 3".
