SSS Soaring Birthday

Hi folks!  Just popping in with a really quick card today. 

This Soaring Birthday set is another from the most recent Simon Says Stamp Let's Chill release that I didn't get a chance to work with at release time.

I'm totally smitten with the kite images in the release.  I love the way they really capture the feel of flying.  

For this card I simply stamped the image on a panel of watercolor paper using Versafine, and then watercolored.  I really only used two colors for my card.  I started by painting a very light wash of a red/pink color on the kite.  Once that was mostly dry, I went back with a smaller more saturated brush and added accents with that same color.


I treated the sky similarly, first adding a very light wet wash of blue, then going back with more saturation.  For the sky I did not let the first layer get as dry as for the kite because I wanted a softer differentiation.

The panel was finished off with a sentient from the Soaring Birthday stamp set, and then the entire panel was popped up over my card base.

Super quick and easy!
