I enjoyed making this card for my aunt in Belgium, using this week’s Sketch For You To Try. The Dutch happy birthday sentiment was stamped with green ink on white card stock and cut out with a Spellbinders die. Baja Breeze ink was stippled onto the label while it was still inside the die. I layered the flowers from the Simple Friendship set on top of the Simple Flower embossed die cut. The Baja Breeze buttons matched the Kioshi paper from BasicGrey nicely.
Thanks for stopping by!
