Watercolor Background Cards

Hello! I have another couple of cards I made last couple months to share! I was inspired by this image from The Card Concept:
I loved the color scheme and wanted to try this watercolor background technique again. I didn't have ink to match, but I had gelatos, so I tried those. I scribbled the colors into my acrylic block, sprayed them with water, and used my finger to work the pigments loose and into the water. I then pressed the block into my watercolor paper. This first card was for my daughter's 10th birthday, so I stamped and heat embossed the numbers onto vellum and fussy cut them out.
I did the same for the background if this card as I did above. I added gold tape to frame it. The sentiment and flowers were stamped and heat embossed. I first cut the flowers and leaves and added them with foam tape.
