I made the pink one for my grandma and the second one for a friend.
Materials you will need (for both cards):
- Paper.
- Watercolor paper (you can use another paper if you don't have this, but this one is the best one for using watercolor paint).
- Watercolor paint.
- Corrugated cardboard (the one I have is in a red-metallic color).
- Adhesive.
- Mounting tape.
- Foam
- A pencil, an eraser, a pen and scissors.

Instructions for the first card (the pink one):
Steps 1 and 2.
1) Take a paper sheet and fold it in half (you can use any paper you want; I used a paper that is pink in one side and white in the other one).
2) Draw some flowers with a pencil in watercolor paper and then underline it with a pen.
3) Paint the flowers with watercolor paint, then cut them.
4) Cut two foam rectangles, a bigger one and a smaller one.
5) Write "Happy Birthday" or something like that in another paper (I used watercolor paper) and then cut it.
6) Stick the flowers with some mounting tape, and then stick everything else to the paper sheet you fold in 1). Use the picture of the card before to guide yourself. Then you have finished your card :)!

Details: You can add some details to your cards. For example, I made two flowers for the pink card; I added one in the back of the card (with some text next to it) and the other one in the inside. For the alligator card I made a little present and a heart. I did the two flowers and the present just as I did the other flowers or the alligator; by drawing them and then painting them with watercolor paint. For the heart I used corrugated cardboard.
The two flowers (the one in the back with the text, and the one inside the card), the little present in the back of the alligator card and the heart inside of it.
Recommendation: Before painting your drawings with watercolor paint, try them in a separate piece of paper, so as to be sure that the color you are using is the one you want.
