Artistic Birthday

 Hello and welcome back! I was purging some old (like from at least 15 years ago!) card magazines but decided to skim through them to see if there was any inspiration left inside. And boy, did I find some! This design was inspired by a card that I found by Dawn McVey.

I used a Blending Brush to add a hint of Petal Pink to the doily, then scattered the flowers from Artistically Inked down the left side of the card. The sentiment fit nicely in the corner.


But the highlight is those sparkly, glittery, Iridescent Rhinestones! They are in the new January-June 2022 Mini Catalog and I will have to order many, many more of these! They are gorgeous in person!

This card is entered in the challenges at the Paper Players and Sunday Stamps Challenge. Don't those flowers remind you of bokeh? They did for me!


Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
