DIY Watercolor Birthday Candle Cards

July 18, 2016 · 4 Comments

DIY Watercolor Birthday Candle CardsToday is my grandfather’s birthday! I’m starting with this because I miss him and wish I was in Portugal celebrating his 85th year with him, but he was one of the reasons for today’s post. The other came in the mail for birthday last month from Anthropologie. Are you guys members and receive their monthly catalogs, and special birthday discounts? Well I do, and this year they sent the loveliest birthday card. In true Anthropologie style, it was the prettiest little card with watercolor birthday candles. A birthday card so simple that I fell in love with, and was inspired to create my own.DIY Watercolor Birthday Candle CardsDIY Watercolor Birthday Candle CardsI’m a stationery lover, I’ve got stamps galore, pens in every color of the rainbow, thank you cards and blank cards just because, and envelopes in all sizes. Yet amongst my stationery collection I’ve got no birthday cards. In turn, you’ll often find me heading to the store last minute to pick one up, you know one of those generic cards that will cost you an arm and a leg! Seriously, how and why did greeting cards become so expensive.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some beautiful occasion cards out there, and online shops specializing in the prettiest creations, but they obviously don’t come in handy when you need a special card unexpectedly. I definitey learned my lesson after being convinced I had a card for a baby shower and didn’t, then wound up buying the wrong gender card in a rush. So now my collection is stocked with an array of beautiful occasion cards I purchased from Etsy…DIY Watercolor Birthday Candle CardsBut these watercolor birthday candle cards, aren’t they the cutest? I love that they’re simple and minimalist, yet fun and pretty, which makes them work well for both genders, of any age. I went with green since that’s my grandfather’s favorite color, and wrote happy birthday in Portuguese. Write whatever fun sayings you’d like on yours, or leave them blank. I used three different shades of each color to create the candles in different ombre effects and patterns. If you’re new to watercolor painting, this is an easy design to work on your skills. For an in-depth how to on watercolor see this informative video from Wonder Forest.

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
