Birthday Tree

 Neutral earth tones make a beautiful masculine card for any occasion. I chose to make this one a birthday card. No added accessories are necessary. Of course, you can add brads, ribbon, even some washi tape if you want. I prefer the simplistic look. What do you think?

I began with my 3" watercolor square. Using my aqua painter, I added Pool Party to the top of it. 

I then added some Daffodil Delight. It bled right on top of the Pool Party, but you can still see it in the background. 

I then added the Crumb Cake to the bottom. I did my best to not have a straight edge where the ground and the sky meet. 

Once the background dried, I stamped my tree. I used a technique called "Markering." Basically, I colored the stamp with my markers. Then I breathed on it to reactivate the ink, and then I stamped it.

I then adhered it to the Chocolate Chip square and then onto the card base. 

I stamped the sentiment on the card front, and adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.
