Stippled Birthdays~

Hello there, I am back again to share 2 more cards from Stippled Nature, the new stamp set from a new line of stamps at Gina K Designs; Freckled and Fun Stamps by Beth Silaika.

The 2 cards from yesterday were birthday cards for my dear nieces.  Today's samples were to my father-in-law for his birthday and to a friend who was also celebrating a birthday.


Image panel was corner rounded before adhering to base with dimensional foam.
A red accent strip was adhered at the upper third of the card base for balance.
Banner strips were made using a square punch for the tails.  The red strip is on dimensional foam.

Finished card is A2 sized: 4.25" x 5.5"
