I've done this technique once before and really enjoyed it!

My card:
I thought the Floral Corner Wrap stamp would be fun to use for this technique!


I die cut a few flowers and flourishes in white cardstock and then used colored chalk to add a little color to them.
I really like how this card turned out!

RB Birthday

Hello crafty friends!

I have a fun card design to share with you today!!

I designed this card for Raisin Boat!

Using probably one of my favorite stamp sets from them!

The set is called Going in Circles!  I just love all the different design elements in the set!
I stamped the birthday sentiment in the set using Memento Rhubarb Stalk Ink.  I stamped some of the circle accents using Memento Bahama Blue Ink along with Memento Paris Dusk Ink.

Close-up:
I also used some of their lovely Boathouse Collection cardstock. I used Sky View and Brighton Beach White!

I finished the card off by adding a few Denium Pearls.

 I was inspired by this photo:

Have a wonderful day!
