A Red, White and Blue Birthday!

Hello Friends! I have two cards to share —perfect for anyone who has a July birthday,  and especially meaningful this year as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary!


Since I love the new Nordic Petalglow Flower die from the Nordic Daydream release, I decided to make it the star of both cards. I find that it’s such a beautiful bloom and so easy to assemble. 


For my first card, I ink blended a piece of 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” cardstock with red and blue Distress Oxide inks and then added texture with the Diamond Oval Pinpoint Background die. I die cut the Nordic Petalglow Flower from red and white glitter cardstock and blue foil cardstock, mixing and matching the pieces to create a variety of red, white, and blue blooms. I finished the card by using the new Happy Birthday Tender Script sentiment. 




For my second card, I changed things up with a slimline design to space the blooms out a bit more. I ink blended red and blue on a piece of the white woodgrain paper, then lightly spattered water to add some interest. This time, I used plain red, white and blue cardstock for the flowers, keeping things less glitzy. I did add some sparkle with glitter and foil cardstock for the sentiment. 



Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a Safe & Happy 4th of July!
