Couple of cheerful cards for you

Hi, It's Annika here, hopefully to share some inspiration.

Today I have couple of really cheerful cards to share.

This one is using a Cupcake Bliss stamp by Crissy Armstrong. I coloured it with distress inks on watercolour sketching paper. It's quite thin so I tried to keep my colouring drier than usual.
Next card is featuring a stamp called Bart's BBQ and two sentiment sets: Whimsy Birthday Letter Seals Set and Whimsy Party Mini Letter Seals.
I coloured the image with watercolours using wet-in-wet method. The clouds are stippled on with gouache paints but acrylics would give the same effect. I also used white gouche paint slightly diluted with water for highlights.
Hope these happy colours added a bit of a brightness to your day!
Hugs
Annika
