An artistic birthday card

Hello all! It’s time for tutorial number 2 of Design Cuts’ 2nd birthday multi-deal fest. This time, we’ll create a cute, watercolor-themed birthday card, dedicated to our favorite team of design geeks!

We’ll use techniques including texture layering, masking, layer styles, and more! Quick word of caution: we’ll be layering a lot of elements, so this tutorial may take a bit longer than usual. But it will be just as much fun!

Note that there's also an extensive freebie pack that comes along with the tutorial, that includes vector elements, watercolor assets, and textures.

You can have a closer look at the end result in the attachments.

Have at it!
