I created a few birthday cards to celebrate!
My first card features the lovely Jumbo Cling Cottage Rose from Stampendous:
I used a simple masking technique for this card. Mask the area to stamp with two piece of thin scrap paper. Stamp the flower using black archival ink over the area. Sponge the area with yellow dye ink. Color the flowers using watercolor pencils and waterbrush. The sentiment was stamped on a tag and attached with a silk ribbon. Clean and simple birthday card.
My next card features the Artistic Outpost Vintage Circus stamps:
Now onto the important details!
