Team Tuesday - with Deniz Do

Hi friends! It’s Team Tuesday over at My Sweet Petunia, and today we’re featuring a beautiful clean and simple birthday card by Deniz. Her project highlights how easy it is to create soft texture and elegant dimension using watercolor techniques and the MISTI, proof that simple designs can still feel extra special and thoughtfully detailed.

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing a clean and simple birthday card for my latest project went My Sweet Petunia.

For the background, I used a thick striped background stamp from Hero Arts, inked it up with Distress Oxide ink, generously spritzed it with water, and stamped it onto watercolor paper using my MISTI. I made sure to stamp down several times to get the cool variation of colour and texture on my watercolour panel. I love the soft, organic texture this technique creates!

Once everything was dry, I cut a rectangular opening in the center using Waffle Flower dies. The sweet sentiment and leafy foliage come from several Spellbinders sets. I die cut the foliage from watercolor paper as well and painted them with a mix of green inks for added depth and dimension.

To finish it off, I popped up the front panel with foam tape and tucked the foliage along the bottom of the window for a soft, layered look. Simple, elegant, and perfect for a birthday!
