Charming Delight Birthday

Hello everyone.  Today is a friend's birthday and I created a CAS (clean and simple) floral birthday card for her using the Charming Delight layering stencil set from Altenew (ALT)   Hope she's having a wonderful day and getting spoiled. 😉  


Trimmed Bristol paper to A2 size then ink blended ALT Enchanted Garden and Frosted Foliage fresh dye inks over the stencil layers for the flowers and foliage. For the center, used distress inks (Squeezed Leminade, Scattered Straw, Fossilized Amber) and purple ink remaining from the Enchanted Garden detail blending brush.


Was going for a soft watercolour look, so had to add splatters with diluted white gouache paint.  Die cut the Spellbinders Layered Happy Birthday sentiment from silver foil paper and its shadow from vellum.  Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish. Easy peasy!
