Blues and greens for a Happy birthday

I had a desire to get inky. Really inky.  So I pulled out some watercolour paper and some Distress Inks. 

 I used the Mehndi Medallions stamp set from Papertrey Ink (it's an older set), and whitte heat embossed the large medallion onto watercolour paper. I then smooshed Distress Inks in various blue and green colours onto my craft mat, spritzed them with water and dunked my panel into the watery inky puddles.  I dried the panel with my heat gun, then repeated this a few times to get the depth of colour, and the splotches of colour I wanted. 

The sentiment from Simon Says Stamp was white embossed onto vellum, and wrapped around the watercolour panel, before attaching the whole lot to a white card base.  A sprinkling of sequins from Pretty Pink Posh was the final touch.

Thanks for visiting :)

Edited: after a couple of suggestions, I will be linking this card up at the Inkspirational challenge - Mint and Navy
