Happy Friday, fellow crafters!! I hope you’re all doing well and have some fun Easter plans this weekend!! Brenda here with a bright, colorful birthday card to share with you today!!

I started by stenciling the Calming Cosmos 1 Layering Stencil Set onto white cardstock using Dolled Up, Deep Peony, Grand Fuchsia, Lemon Drop and Found Topaz inks. The Coordinating Die was used to cut them out and I added dots to the centers with a yellow gel pen. Next, I stenciled the Dahlia Leaves Stencil onto white cardstock using Soft Garden and Bright Fern inks and used their Coordinating Die to cut them out.

For the background, I blended Dolled Up and Soft Garden inks onto a panel of white cardstock using the Postage: Stripes Stencils. I used the largest die in the Rectangle A2 Nested Die Set to cut it out. The flowers and leaves were arranged and adhered with liquid glue.

The sentiment, from the Easy Expressions: Just Because Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with Noir ink, cut out with the Coordinating Die and popped up with foam tape. Deep Pink Rhinestone Gems add a little bling and draw your attention to the sentiment.

That’ll do it for me today!! Have a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Easter!!

Brenda
