Birthday Wishes

Well, I am getting in under the wire for the Gina K. Designs Monthly Challenge. The theme this time is to use red as the primary color on a card and it had to be a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary or some sort of milestone. Since I have lots of birthdays coming  up in the next months I decided my card would be used in that way. I love those pretty flowers.



I used two Gina K. Designs sets. The flowers come from the Bitty Blossoms set and the sentiment comes from a set that I believe was included as a gift in an order from Gina. And, there was no name for it but as you can see with the photo it is really a Gina K. Designs sentiment set. I stamped the flowers and the sentiment with Memento Northern Pine so that I could use it with alcohol ink markers. As you can see it almost looks black which is alright too. I used my Bic alcohol ink pens to color the flowers. I layered this focal image to Gina K. Design Red Velvet card stock before I added it to the white card base. The last step was to add some red rhinestone gems. 

So glad you stopped by to visit. I always love to read your comments too. They help to make my day a little brighter. Take care and stay well.

God bless, Verna

You have got the red in style here. The flowers look real and the frame in red is such a terrific contrast to all the pristine white.

This is such a pretty card! The flowers look lovely in red, and I love the bling! I have that small stamp set. It is called Little Thoughts. I had to look it up when I received it, as it doesn't have the name printed on the packaging.

I love this card! It's bright and cheerful and just happy. The flower stamp is beautiful and your coloring really brought it to life. I didn't know Bic had alcohol ink pens. Maybe I can fill in with some colors I don't have. Thanks for mentioning that.
