Birthday Card Inspiration

Every month when I get together with my card making group, we always make a Birthday card for any Birthday girls in the current month. These were the cards that were made for October.

I hope you will find some inspiration from these beauties.

The card above is the one I made.

I'm highly addicted to distress stains and can't stop playing with them!

I rubbed the vintage photo stain on a flower and stamped it onto

 a Manila envelope. Waited till it was completely dry before dabbing some shades of blue stain inks, re-inkers and pads on a craft sheet, spritzed

 them with water and used a wet paintbrush to pick up the color and paint the flower petals. I finished them of with a little bit of glitter glue in the flower centers. When I adhered them to the card, I just barely curled up the petals with my fingers.
