Your watercolor mood board inspiration...
Pastels are the perfect symbols of Spring time. For my inspiration, I chose to use the mood board colors, but with softer tones on my design.
"Happy Birthday"
I softened the color hues that I pulled from the mood board by using pastel plaid patterned paper as the card background. The die cut frame was cut twice. The first from white cardstock and the second from watercolor paper that I painted in shades of pink. I saved the negative from the pink design and embossed it with a Happy Birthday folder.
I used Twinkling H2Os on watercolor paper for the cupcake stand. These little pots of shimmering watercolors have been in my stash for a long time and are a favorite. I cut the cupcake stand 3 more times and adhered the layers together for dimension. The Happy Birthday sentiment was also created using the Twinkling H2Os but with a darker hue to pop on the pastel colors.

Such a "sweet" card! Love the colors you chose. Thank you for playing with my Spring challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge and hope you will join us again soon.
Going with the pastel colors and cupcakes is a winning combination for Spring celebration. And the plaid is a wonderful background! Thanks so much for sharing your "yummy" card with the Sisterhood of Crafters Spring challenge theme. Hope you will play with us again!
Love how you water colored that die cut. Really clever, I'm going to remember this. I also love the plaid background, really sweet and perfect for this design.
WOW beautiful cupcakes and love how you used a medley of lovely pastel shades to bring them to life
