Floral Watercolor Birthday Card

I have been having fun with my watercolors lately and created a bright and summery background for my friend's birthday card.  The camera does not capture all the shimmery goodness, but it's all there and then some!

On a panel of Canson watercolor paper I painted rows of color with Paper Fashion Watercolors and let dry.  I then splattered with gold metallic watercolors.  

I stamped the floral image with watermark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder.  I used an arch die to cut out the panel and adhered to a card base.

I then die cut the word die from gold mirror cardstock and twice from white cardstock and stacked together.  Then I cut the shadow die from vellum, and adhered the stacked die cut to it and glued the entire piece to the from of the card. 

And finally, I added sequins for some extra sparkle to complete the card.
