Hi All! Welcome to the Rose Blossom May Stamp of the Month Blog Hop featuring Close To My Heart's May SOTM: Celebrate with Cake! If you've just hopped over from wonderfully talented Shelly Nemitz' blog, Just One Pretty Piece, you're in the right place. If you're just starting with me, I'll have a list of all the participants at the end of this post. Now, let's take a look at the stamp set and project for today.
I love the "doodle" look of the "Celebrate with Cake!" stamp set, and the mix of fonts used for the sentiments. When I saw it, I knew I needed to do at least one card with it using the no-line watercoloring technique, and that's exactly what I did for today's project. Let's take a look:
Here are a couple of close ups:
Finally, I added the Happy Birthday sentiment to the inside of the card using Thistle ink:
And there you have it! Thanks so much for stopping by. It was such a fun and simple card to make. I hope you enjoyed it! Now hop on over and see what the amazingly talented Mary Newman has in store for your inspiration at the Pixie Dust Playground. If you get lost along the way, here is a list of hop participants:

Have a wonderfully creative day!
Okay, that's it - Kim, you need to teach a watercoloring class at a Rose Blossoms meeting! I know you're far away and all, but seriously, you are way too talented and I need to soak some of that in. :)
ReplyDeleteYou missed it friend! I taught an impromptu class at the retreat in Feb. *sigh* You shoulda been there.... ;-)
DeleteWish I was there for that class too! I love how you added the shimmer and sparkle. The sequins add even more of a pop! Just beautiful my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh my word Kim, this is BEAUTIFUL!!! Such a great job!!!
ReplyDeleteMs. Kim Hill......this is just adorable! I love the no line water coloring technique and all the sparkles and sequins add so much. You are so talented. Love seeing all the new things you come up with.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun painting and bright colors. PLUS, I love a top fold card. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how this cake turned out! It looks just like you could dive in with a fork! Your painting is perfection!!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't wait to see what was ahead just based on the title of this post. If the receiver of this card doesn't frame it and hang it on the cake art wall she's crazy!,
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I LOVE your no-line watercoloring! Amazing details and shimmer, and I love the touch of gold, too!
