Birthday Cards

Floral Cards

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I made some floral cards in different styles for a few challenges...

Card #1 Happy Birthday

Card #1 is just layered with paper, die cut frame and elements (trying to use up my stash from scrap box). Sentiment and Flowers are adhered with foam tape for dimension. Colored with alcohol-based markers.

Card #2 One-Layer Lotus Hello

A one-layer card, featuring layering stamps. "Water" was created by using a "seaweed" stamp.

Card #3 Birthday Wishes

I tried stenciling the background with my ink pad, but it didn't work out, so...since the stencil had ink on, I just pressed it on the card base to get the impression.

Then, just added the stamps (retired CTMH Stamp of the Month) and sentiment (exclusive stamp set from Craft with Heart Card Kit - Jan-Apr 2021).

Challenges:

Card #1

1. Double D: Flowers in Containers
