Happy birthday


 We have a lot of spring birthdays in my family, so I've started to work on cards. For this one, I used some coloring tools I haven't used in a long time -- watercolor crayons. I colored a solid stamp of cone flowers with crayon, spritzed with water and stamped it on watercolor paper.  I like this technique, but getting the right amount of water is tricky. 

The "happy" part of the sentiment is a Cutploration/Stamploration die. "Birthday" is white embossed on black.

This card is entered in these challenges
