Birthday love

Hello Crafty people!
Happy weekend!
 I want to show my new card with lots of textures and techniques.
This time I went for a great sketch made by Wenche and entering my card into their challenge.

 Here is my take on the sketch: So I am sharing my card-" Birthday love"
Firstly. I made my own background on the Pink CS using Darice Embossing folder-"Basket Weaving" with Raspberry distress ink pad.

Watercolouring is very trendy now a days and I am inspired by with lots of people in crafting world!!! I choose a very sweet image from Darcie's stamp set-Simple joy. Isn't she so cute!!! I stamped the image on watercolour paper and do you know I used  Joy Crafts cut & emboss dies Garden Fence as a stencil. I sketched around it very lightly using a HB drawing pencil. I coloured the whole scene using Distress inks AND SOME Japaneese brush pens.
Have a closer look.......I tried my best to give some effects...HAHAHA:)

 I embellished my card for gorgeous look with some white Crochet flowers. I distressed them and highlighted them using loose glitter powder.

I applied  EMBOSSING Powder Resist TECHNIQUE for the sentiment and then distressed it using Tim Holtz Water brush.

 Now , have a look at this beautiful border. The butterfly border is from  Memory Box Kensington Border. I clear embossed this border( I repeated the process 4 times to give it a good coating)

 

 I added an arrow washi tape.

 And look at this gorgeous butterfly charm......

 Here is the inside view:
