RetroRubber 220 Watercolor Birthday

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Are your Thanksgiving plans in high gear?  Lots of things to do! My card today uses the Tic Tac Toe grid from Retro Rubber, and I chose to make a special birthday card!  I chose the left row down of frame, diecut & ribbon:

I wanted to use a set that was still current but would fit the criteria of being at least a year old, so I chose Color & Contour (2021) to create a pretty flower to sit atop my frame:

I used watercolor paper for my image, stamping it first with markers, then using an aquapainter and inks to color it in.  After diecutting it, I mounted it on a Garden Green frame, diecut with the Scalloped Contours die.  I cut an opening in it with the Stitched Rectangle die, which made an interesting double line of stitching!  That all went on a panel of Basic White, embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder, then on a Petal Pink card base:

A sentiment from Best Family Ever was stamped in Poppy Parade (oops, I forgot, this is not an old set...sorry, Retro Rubber!):

A Petal Pink ribbon and some Silver Loose sequins were my added embellishments.  On the inside, more words from Best Family Ever, along with some florals stamped with Versamark ink:

Love that subtle effect!  Thanks for visiting today--enjoy it and be blessed!
