This card was created with a set of new stamps that I purchased in Clarity Crafts summer sale.  I had saved my pennies as I knew there were several large sets of stamps that I wanted to purchase.

I die cut a circle card using one of my larger Sentimentally Yours Double Debossed Circle dies, then again in red card and a smaller circle was also die cut from watercolour card.

I repeat stamped one of the circle designs from Tina's A5 KISS Retro Bubbles stamps across the watercolour card circles using Versafine Clair Twilight ink.  I stamped the Happy Birthday from Tina's A5 KISS Retro Triangles onto a snippet of watercolour card and trimmed.

I sprayed the stamped watercolour die cut circle with water then lightly sprinkled blue Tonic Studios Nuvo Shimmer Powder and added another spray of water.  I added red Tonic Studios Nuvo Shimmer Powder to my Craft mat then added water to create a red watercolour paint and coloured the smaller circles.  I left to dry overnight.

I matted the stamped sentiment onto a snippet of leftover red card and trimmed.  I glued the red die cut circle onto the die cut circle card.  I added foam pads to the back of the stamped watercolour card and adhered to the circle card.  I adhered the matted sentiment onto the card and added Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to finish.   Back soon x
