Over at AAA Cards challenge blog we’re celebrating 9 years of clean and simple card-making. There’s even a money prize up for grabs! The challenge this time is ‘pink birthday’. I searched through my stash and remained uninspired by what I had on a generic birthday theme. Eventually, I settled on one of my flower stamps, coloured it pink and made it a birthday card with a stamped mini-sentiment:
I stamped in black water-based ink several times for a solid outline before colouring in with ProMarkers. For the matting, I used the deepest colour of ProMarker to colour the edges so that I had the exact shade. I, again, made the stamp specifically to fit the centre of the flower inking it with the ProMarker and stamping it quickly (clean off with alcohol-based cleaner).
