Watercolor Background Happy Father's Day Card

Hello again!  I wanted to share with you the "Landscape" card that I made for the Facebook group card swap "Card Swaps for All Seasons" in February 2020.

I started out with watercolor paper cut down to 3.75" x 5".  Using watercolor pencils on dry paper, I colored with yellow, orange and light blue in light shades using the pencils at an angle.  I then took a watercolor aqua pen to create a sky effect.

I let this dry overnight. It was a little warped so I placed a book on top of it and let it sit another 24 hours.

I created the mountains in layers using three different colors from Stampin' Up!©:  Soft Suede, Crumb Cake & Early Espresso and the stamp set "Waterfront".  I added Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers on top of the light blue watercolor background to create the ocean.

This card was finished with a "Happy Father's Day" die cut out of soft suede cardstock (which also frames the watercolor paper cut to 4"x 5.25").  This was placed on to the Neenah Solar White 110# cardstock base.  The small sentiment "Wishing you the best day ever" purchased from AliExpress was stamped and cut out and placed on top of the card with 3d foam squares to finish it off.

I hope you like my card! Please let me know what you think in the comments!
