Birthday cards!

If you follow me on YouTube, I shared tips on using your ink pad and a blending brush to color your cardstock.  This is a great idea if you don't have a lot of colored cardstock.  I had fun creating the background on the first card using acetate sheets to create stripes.

Sorry, I think I used retired Lost Lagoon gems on this card.  You could color clear gems with Lost Lagoon blends.

This is the result from the Secret Sea piece I started during my Frugal Friday on May 9, 2025.  I opted to leave the center empty and just stamp on it with a variety of "Happy Birthday" stamps.  This is a fun way to ink up those rarely used stamps.

The colors I used on these cards were Secret Sea, Garden Green and Lost Lagoon.
