Happy Birthday!





Hi, Friends!

Just popping in today to share with you birthday cards with two different designs using the same stamp images.  I already had panels with ink splatters in my stash.  I wanted more interest for the background, so I used a stencil from Studio Katia and lightly brushed on Distress Ink of iced spruce. And, here is my first card, which is following the above sketch for The Flower Challenge.



The flower images are from Sweet 'n Sassy and the birthday sentiment is from PTI.  Dots were added to finish the card.

Next up....





































As, you can see, the second card is similar except for the design and the birthday sentiment is from SU.  Wink of Stella on the flower.  A bow made of pearl cotton and a dot to the center of the flower for added interest.

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care and have a wonderful week!

Hugs,
Maria
