For my card, I began with a deep black card base and masked off a portion to create a clean, defined area for added texture. Once the mask was in place, I used Heidi Swapp white spray to add a soft splatter across the exposed section. The contrast between the crisp black and the delicate white speckles gives the background a bold, artistic feel that sets the stage for the rest of the design.
For the leaves, I reached for a simple stack of white napkins and die cut them with a Simon Says die. The napkin layers create a wonderfully delicate texture, and adding watercolor brought gentle, organic color that feels light and airy against the dramatic card base. The soft wash of color on the napkins adds a handmade charm that pairs beautifully with the splattered background.
To finish the card, I added a birthday sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals. The raised sentiment creates a crisp focal point and adds just the right amount of lift to complete the design.
