Birdcage Triptych

As part of my birthday month celebration, I'm going to try and make a cards with every single Stampin' Up stamp set I currently own. Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a quick and easy card. This card may not look quick and easy, but I assure you it is! Start with a simple watercolor wash on a piece of watercolor paper. I usedWatermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach, and Daffodil Delight reinkers to paint my background. The longest part of the card comes next: letting the piece of watercolor paper dry completely. From there I quickly created three different birdcages, cut the paper in three, and glued onto a layer of Basic Black before adhering to my card base. Simple but very striking!
