Birthday: Ragged Daisy Blessings
May your troubles be less and your blessings be more is one of my favorite Irish blessings. I used both watercolor powder and watercolor with stamps on this card. I sprinkled the powder on one side of the card and spritzed. I used inked stamps on the other side, but I placed them in the spritzed water before I stamped them. I have quite a bit of white still showing, which created an entirely new look to my watercoloring.

Birthday: Dandelion Wishes Watercolor
Stampin' Up!'s Dandelion Wishes gives a delicate impression. A perfect impression for watercolor powders. I wanted a pale background, so I sprinkled the powder on a silicone mat, sprayed water on the powder, and used a water painter to keep the powders less intense.
