This card started with my most favorite floral stamp. I used it last year, but not since. Instead of coloring it in I decided to draw different size circles and stripe them up.
Even though I wanted to go with a clean look it still was a bit bare. I stenciled hearts with a puffy pink paste.
The sentiment is my most recent acquisition, I desperately needed some new birthday texts.
Entering this in the challenges that inspired me or which are suitable in other respects:
Seize the Birthday: #235 AG or Stripe it up - I used the stripe option
Make My Monday: #171 Use a stencil
We Love Stamping: April - Stamp of the moment
We love 2 Create : Week 4: AG
NBUS: #37 AG
