Sending birthday wishes

There is a new challenge in town!  It is called Seize the Birthday.  It has a sketch every two weeks - the first week is a girly card and the second week is a manly card.

Its very first sketch looks like this:





I've used the retired Roxie paper to make my card:

 

What I like most about it is the "patterned paper" in the middle - I used bamboo ink to stamp the same flower randomly then used cocoa ink, a darker ink to stamp the focal flower and the sentiment.  Honestly that was not my plan.  My original plan was to stamp the flower and the greeting on the cream-colored paper which is currently the background piece.  However, I've messed up the stamping and that was the last piece of paper I had.  Oops, it's time to make do and that's what I came up with.  Fixing mistakes is an opportunity to test our creativity and I think I've passed.

Thanks for stopping by!
