Watercolor stars birthday card + ombre stamping

June 26, 2019 - by Gaylynn

Watercolor stars birthday card + ombre stamping

Hello.  It’s Gaylynn here with another installment of my Watercolor Wednesday series.
I am sharing a way to add watercolor stars as card accents.  Also, I share a way to blend ink for a bit of ombre stamping.

This is a fun birthday card for anyone.  It includes watercolor stars as well as ombre style stamping.

Sentiment:  Happy birthday.

Helpful tips:

To begin, I first stamped the happy birthday sentiment in two colors.  I added darker ink over part of the light stamping to get a blended ink look.  Then, I made a panel with only watercolor.  Watercolor stars were die-cut from the watercolor panel.  (Punches can also be used in different shapes to get a similar look.)  Everything was layered to finish.

 Here are more photos of this project.

Here is another look.

Finally, I made a video tutorial for this project.  It will detail the full process.

To view my other watercolor projects on the Unity blog, see Watercolor Wednesday.

Catch me next Wednesday with a new project for Unity’s Watercolor Wednesday.
Thanks for visiting.  Have a wonderful day.
