Birthday flowers

Well I'm back to work ... and still going through my emails!  I'll be lucky to get them all sorted by the end of the week!  Ah well, it's much better than being at home with the flu!

Just a wee quickie card tonight while I was making some vegetable soup for my lunch.
I've used this lovely Prima stamp - coloured with watercolour pencils and sparkle added to the longer purple blooms.
I've stacked up my 'birthday' die to give it a bit of dimension.
I hadn't quite intended to have as many enamel dots, but those dirty fingers made an appearance again ;)

Pretty card! The soft colors you used to water color are lovely. I always have trouble with inky fingers, too. I finally got a Tombow sanding eraser which helps to get rid of some of them.

Card is so pretty and I love your oops moment and the fact that you can cover it with enamel dots. LOL. My mentor always used to say.. there are no mistakes only opportunities to embellish. Thanks for joining the challenge at CreativeWith Stamps. Dorlene DT CWS
