SENDING SALUTATIONS BIRTHDAY CARD TUTORIAL | FACEBOOK LIVE

Thank you to everyone who joined me for my Facebook Live on Friday afternoon, where  I shared this lovely birthday card featuring the Sending Salutations Stamp Set, Boutique Blooms Stamp Set and Dies, and the gorgeous Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper. I absolutely love how the soft blue tones in the Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper create a beautiful backdrop for the focal panel. The intricate pattern adds interest without overwhelming the design, allowing the delicate Boutique Blooms image to take centre stage. For the focal point, I stamped and die-cut one of the pretty floral images from the Boutique Blooms Stamp Set. I coloured the flower in soft blues to coordinate perfectly with the designer paper. I then added a few stamped floral accents behind the die-cut image for extra detail. The sentiment from the Sending Salutations Stamp Set is perfect for celebrating someone's special day. The combination of script and block lettering gives the greeting a modern and elegant fe...
