Hello and welcome back! I created this birthday card to meet a couple of challenges this week.
The challenges are at Inkspirational, Sunday Stamps, and Hand Stamped Sentiments.
It's funny how you have a certain design in mind but as you start creating, the card comes out completely different! That's what happened here. I found a card in the Annual Catalog that I liked and started to CASE it. But it evolved as I started stamping. And then the HSS challenge inspiration photo appeared on my feed after the card was done. Serendipity!
If I were only making one of these, I'd have fussy cut that flower, but when you're creating in bulk, you look for shortcuts. Luckily, I still had this Starburst punch and it was just the right size for this flower!
Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
