I always find myself scrambling for a birthday card, so this was the perfect challenge for me!
I thought this was a fabulous inspiration photo and just what I needed to create this card for my niece's upcoming 5th birthday. Do you see what jumped out at me from the photo? I loved the black and white stripes combined with the soft peach and teal with a smattering of polka dots and gold!
I used the Petals & Wings stamp set along with the coordinating Wings & Petals die set. I arranged them together, overlapping a bit and framing the sentiment from Better Together.
I hope you are inspired to join us!
