Birthday wishes

Hi there!

The Muse card club is celebrating their 200th challenge!

Jenni created the sweetest card for this occasion... I love it so much and think that the elements she used for her design works just so well, that I didn't want to try anything 'clever ' this week !

So I used all of her inspiration, as is... just with supplies I have available  😊



A closer look:



Polka dots                  ✔
Flower                        ✔
Color combination     ✔
Birthday card             ✔
Layout                       ✔

Same... but different !

The branch in bloom is another design by Tanya Batrak Design ID #147869 in the Silhouette store. LOVE her designs!

Because I wanted to color the image, I decided not to cut it as is, but to use the black fill option. I added a small offset and use the print and cut function. So I basically transformed a cutting file into a digital stamp. After printing and cutting, I colored the image with my Promarkers.
The background is digital polka dot patterned paper, cropped to create a circle background for the flower.
I added my own sentiment, shared below . Feel free to download it for personal use:





Fonts used:
Anton
Century Gothic
