Softening Graphic Images with Joni Andaya

Hi everyone, Joni here sharing my take on the newly released Happy Birds stamp set and Happy Birds Companion Die. Aren't these birds so unique and cute?

The images in this set are very graphic and look amazing with simple and bold coloring. But, I wanted to soften them up a bit with my signature style.

To begin, I first die cut the white card front panel with the small circle from the Love Mom Layers die. Next, I used die cut front panel as a guide on where to distress the white card base of the card. Once the distressing was done, I adhered the front panel with foam tape for dimension.

Next, I stamped the birds from the Happy Birds stamp set onto watercolor paper and watercolored each image using Windsor & Newton watercolor paints. Once the watercolored images dried, I die-cut each one. I stamped the sentiment, from the same set onto Kraft cardstock and adhered with foam tape. To finish, I splattered some diluted watercolor paints and added a few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins.
