Hello and welcome to my Day 2 of Growing in Unity! This week is the birthday week for my kids. I have twins a boy and girl turning 9 on Saturday! 9! I can't believe it! Originally I was thinking of making a birthday theme all week but that didn't pan out exactly.
So here is a chickie birthday card for today:
I used the itty bitty called "Hey Birthday Chick". I embossed a panel for the background using a Stamping Up embossing folder. I used a simple water color set for the coloring. I definately like using water colors to color because it's so much easier than dealing with markers. I know I need more practice to make it look amazing but for now it's working out fine for me.
Be sure to leave me a comment for your chance to win some Unity goodies! Thanks so much for stopping by!!

The combination of the that gorgeous embossing folder and the cute little chickie make such an adorable and happy card!
I love to use watercolors! You have better control for shading. A great tip I learned in a workshop is to always leave some white space when you watercolor- like where the light would hit. Gives it more depth instead of coloring something in solid. Your card looks great!
This is a really cute birthday card. TFS
Gosh, I just love all the Unity birdies and chicks! I love the way you used this set, great card!
