Birthday card

Happy New year to you all! My first crafty share of the new year is a birthday card that I made for a friend.


It's quite a clean and simple card that I have made using the Florence stamp from IndigoBlu.

I used Versafine vintage sepia to stamp this beautiful image and then painted the skin tone with IndigoBlu's matte acrylic in fair, also a touch of strawberry dream on the lips and cheek. 

For the flowers in her hair I used stormy skies distress ink.

For the background I used a wash of IndigoBlu mint choc chip acrylics and a stamped sentiment from Visible image.

Have a great start to your week,  whatever you have planned for yourself, for a lot of you it may be a very snowy one!

Happy Crafting
