I've always been fond of this Mark's Finest Papers (now closed) floral stamp so I made this simple birthday card in shades of blue and green with touches of yellow for the flower centers. I colored the image with Copics, adding a pre-printed sentiment from SSS and 3 matching gemstones. It was quick and easy but I love how it turned out.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
Allsorts Week #776 - It Has to be Spring
the Four Seasons April 2024 Challenge - A/G Spring
the Sisterhood of Crafters April 10 - Showers or Flowers
the Triple B April 2024 Challenge - Birds, Butterflies and/or Blooms
We Love Stamping April 2024 - Spring or A/G
Seize the Birthday#281 - Any Color and Green
Thanks as always for stopping by and I wish you the best possible weekend with spring finally being in the air!

It seems that lately you are in CAS mood, and it works so well!! :) This Hortensia looks amazing with your colouring and all the white space without distractions makes it stand out!! The cute little gems for light and the layered banner with the greetings are the perfect compliments. Well done! Perhaps one day I too will learn to make CAS LOL :D

Your birthday card is simply charming! The choice of colors, especially the shades of blue and green with pops of yellow, gives it such a fresh and vibrant look. The floral stamp from Mark's Finest Papers paired with the pre-printed sentiment and gemstone accents creates a delightful composition that's both eye-catching and cheerful.
