Late, but Happy Birthday

I wanted to join in Susan's birthday bash for Darnell on the https://caswatercolour.blogspot.com/. I water colored the black embossed image from a  Stampin' Up stamp with lavender and yellow on mixed media paper. Then I used that stamp again and watercolored some of the blooms and fussy cut them out. Using a bit of foam tape I popped them up over the others for a bit of dimension. The sentiment is from PTI and embossed.  I used stamping, embossing and watercolor. Happiest of Birthdays, Darnell.



Be kind to one another.
