I have a favorite stamp from Simon Says Stamp and you've seen me use this Black-eyed Susan before. But when the DT at their Wednesday Challenge asked for a birthday card, it was the first stamp I thought of to celebrate their birthday!
I reached for my palette of Distress re-inkers today. I'm getting
more comfortable all the time with their brilliant pigmentation.
A bit of splatter with the leftover ink and a run through
my die-cutting machine with that old favorite MFT Wonky Rectangle
and it was ready for my card!
I can count on one hand the times I've added a button to a card -
this little ivory button seemed like the perfect thing to attach my birthday wish! What do you think - too much?
I hope you find too much fun over the weekend and that some of that time is spent getting your craft on!
I'll be back with my April card for The Flower Challenge so stick around - and PLAY!

You sure are getting more comfortable, M! One might even say proficient! You've painted this beautifully and I love the schplatters and the sweet button! And the font and the flag. You get the idea! Hugs, D.
I think you've mastered the re-inkers for watercolor, my friend! WOW! These daisies are so pretty! I love the colors and that button is a perfect adornment.
I agree and think you have mastered the re-inker watercoloring. These are beautiful and a great way to celebrate a birthday.
The stamp, your card, everything is so pretty, and I love the bright pigmentation! The button is a sweet touch and I'm all for it. I have bunches but the mail doesn't like them, so they mostly stay in their jars looking pretty.
Birthdays = Flowers = Perfect!
It's a fabulous birthday card, Michele! Every little detail... right down to that sweet button!
You have a wonderful eye for detail my friend. This is so lovely!
Your re-inker coloring is fabulous, Michele. Love the simplicity of the design with just enough splatters to make it interesting.
The button is fabulous. Don't second guess yourself. Goes perfectly with the rest of your design and color.
Black eyed Susans never looked so pretty and your water coloring technique is perfection! And the button? Love it!
You might be brining buttons back...so nicely finished for the sentiment. Beautiful coloring as well.
