I've had quite a few reasons to send birthday cards recently, and thought I would share a couple of the cards I've made. This flower image from Hero Arts is an oldie, but a goodie. I keep it in my stash for special occasions, like birthdays! I colored the image with markers and then added colored stickles to the blossoms and leaves for lots of sparkle. I even added a bit of glitter to the "birthday smiles" sentiment, too!
Here is another version of the card, using different ribbon, background stamp, different paper matting, and a different sentiment. I think they're both cheery, and hope they're enjoyed!
Another birthday card I made recently using my own "Three Flower Friend" stamp, from Whipper Snapper. I love this image, and it was one of the wood mounted images I ordered after the latest release. I'm happy to have it in my stash! The butterfly I used on the background is from my cling set called "Love At Home", a personal favorite of mine.
I'll be making more birthday cards this weekend... lots of springtime birthdays to be had!
Are you making anything special this weekend?
Are you kidding me? Those birthday cards are so adorable. Can I pick one design for my daughters birthday? For this coming April 19, 2011? Thanks!

Flowers are the best, aren't they? I never tire of using them on cards. These cards are so fun and springy--I'm sure the recipients will be thrilled! It's such an honor to receive an "Anna card"!
I've been working on my knitting projects lately, but I hope to stamp some today too.
