Charming Day Birthday Card – Blending, Watercolouring & a Touch of Splatter

For this month's Technique Blog Hop, I’m sharing a soft and elegant birthday card created with the Charming Day Bundle. I loved bringing this floral design to life using a mix of techniques to add depth and texture.

The flowers and leaves are stamped, embossed and watercoloured, giving them a pretty, shaded look. I added gold die-cut elements and a delicate frame for a touch of shine, then finished the card with subtle gold splattering for extra texture and interest.

A sweet gold bee and a soft Peach Pie background bring it all together, making this card perfect for someone special.
Next up in today's hop is my lovely and inspirational friend Andrea. I'm looking forward to seeing what gorgeous creation Andrea has to share with us.
