Three Floral Birthday Cards

I really enjoy making cards but sometimes find I'm doing the stamping and colouring and then the panels sit on my desk.....  for ages.  So today I've finished off three cards --

For my first card I am using the sketch suggestion for the challenge at Just Add Ink #647.

Using my stamping platform to hold the lovely Penny Black stamp  - Spontaneous Joy... in place made it easy to create a card with repeated inkings in different coloured Distress Inks ... a light spray of water helps blend the wet ink on the stamps. I stamped an extra flower and fussy cut it out and attached to added some more dimension.  Finished the card with a stamped white embossed sentiment.

I enjoyed making my first card, so I made a second using red Distress Inks and the same process of inking and finished it with a stamped and silver embossed sentiment (Kaisercraft - Birthday Wishes).  I am joining the challenge at Stamping Sensations April Challenge - Anything Stamped.

I'm joining in Stencil challenges at - Stencil Fun April Challenge - Anything Goes, and also with Happy Little Stampers April challenge also Anything Goes.   

I used this lovely sunflower stencil from The Crafters Workshop - Mini Joyful Sunflower and blended colours of Distress Inks then placed the die cut panel onto green card in an opening cut into a square kraft card.  Finished with a stamped gold embossed sentiment (Close to my Heart - Joyful Birthday Occasions) and a die cut bee.
