I like to have some birthday cards in stock, just in case I (or someone else) need one and don't have enough time to make it. In the last quarter of the year, I have a lot of birthdays (and other activities) but very little time. So I end up making nothing else but Christmas cards. By the end of the year, my supply of cards is usually close to zero. This is my first birthday card of 2024, and there is a lot more coming!
I have recently bought some gorgeous stamps, now it was time to put them to good use. First, I stamped the little flower heads in the corner (PaperArtsy Jofy 63) and masked them. I then stamped and masked the swirl (Chocolate Baroque - Butterfly flourish swirls) several times with versamagic. I stamped the flowers (PaperArtsy) in the foreground and masked them. The next step is to stamp the bold flowers (PaperArtsy). and the sentiment (Stampin'Up, blooming with kindness) with black Versafine. I colourized the flowers with Derwent coloursoft pencils. I also splashed little drops of Inktense on the card to make it more playful.
Challenges:
