I needed to make a birthday card today for a friend. She loves her garden and delicate flowers in particular so I found myself reaching for the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Avant Garden as one of the images in the set is a really pretty sprig of flowers which she will love,

I stamped the image twice onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Momento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them in with the Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. I love these pencils so much and am definitely reaching for them more and more often.

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Designer Tee stamp set, which is also a Sale-A-Bration choice using Melon Mambo ink. I used the Project Life Corner Rounder Punch to round the top right and bottom left corners of the stamped piece. I wrapped a length of the Solid Whisper White Baker’s Twine 3 times around the bottom of the panel and tied in a bow. I added the whole piece using Tombow Liquid Adhesive to a panel of Melon Mambo cardstock with similarly rounded corners. The whole topper was then added to a Thick Whisper White card base using Dimensionals. To finish the card off I added some Wink of Stella to the flowers……….love a bit of sparkle.
