I love the neutral tone of this card. My inspiration for this card were the birds singing and celebrating outside today.

Birthday card #29

On Thursday Splitcoaststamper site the challenge was "Just spray it" I inked the flowers and stems with stampin up marker then I misted the stamp with water before stamping on card stock. A soft look to go with my favorite way of stamping (Ink with markers and use different colors)

Happy Stamping!

Birthday Card #28

The classic look of purple with black and white is a wonderful color combo. I used stampin up markers to ink up the flowers on this card.

I was not to sure of this card today. I saw a random greeting sentiment on a card once and tried my hand at it. I stamped the "happy birthday" and the birthday cake on vellum paper. the cake need dressing up so I used some rich regals beads.

Birthday Card #26

With the bird stamp from the Stampin Up "Always" stamp set this quick card was fun to make. I inked the bird in gable green and before stamping my card stock I lined the edge of the stamp with a turquoise marker. The bright colors for this card were inspired by Beate's inspiration challenge.
