For the next two weeks at Seize the birthday we invite you to link any newly created birthday card as it is a no topping week!
Since Summer is all around us, I decided on a sun/Summer themed birthday card.
My card was made by cutting a stencil with my Silhouette, and painting with water color paint in yellow, with just a touch of orange. I used only a very small amount of water . If you use too much water it might run beneath the stencil and you won't get a neat look.
I added my sentiment after the paint has dried completely.
Here's the sentiment for those who might be interested ;)
I am linking my card to the challenge at Less is more where the theme is " HELLO SUNSHINE " and the STENCIL IT challenge at Simon says stamp
Thanks for looking... hope to see your card in the gallery this fortnight!

Such a sunny, happy card! I'd never have thought that you've used a stencil if you hadn't revealed it. Looks like a perfectly handdrawn sun.
Oh, this is so fun! I love it!
