Krafty Chicks Challenge #766: BIRTHDAY

Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Well, it's now May and the beginning of garden season. Time to clean up the yard too. Where did the time go! Anyway, on the first week of the month, we have a BIRTHDAY theme on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Create any paper craft with a birthday theme, male, female, kids, card, scrapbook or even home decor. We hope to see you in the gallery. Now let's get started with challenge

#766 BIRTHDAY

While I was playing with my April Paper Pumpkin kit: Inked Occasions, I came up with this simple card idea. I absolutely love that alcohol inked background and I dusted off this old retired stamp set to give it some wow. After fussy cutting the flowers, I used a Black Marker to thicken the outline. And there's the WOW! Maybe it's just me.

 

Products used: (I'll come back to fill in the blanks. It's late as I'm typing this and I didn't have my list close by.)

• Stamp Set: Band Together (retired)
• Card Stock: Thick Basic White (159229), Basic Black (121045)
• DSP: April Paper Pumpkin kit: Inked Occasions
