Today’s card was designed with three challenges in mind: the monthly Woodblock Wednesday, and Inkspirational’s Birthday Challenge which closes on August 1st, and Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.
From the very first trip I made to a stamp store, I’ve loved Annette Watkin’s designs. One of these stamps is labeled 1992, and the other 1993. That’s just about the time I made my first trip to a stamp store! I see they are now referenced on Etsy as “vintage stamps.” I still love these, and they make a great CAS card.
After coloring the flowers with Copic markers, I die cut the frame with Simon Says Stitched Squares. I added it to a square card base with dimensional tape. Easy peasy, and I hope I remember this design next spring/summer when I’m looking for some easy birthday cards to make.
Thanks, always, to Amy for hosting Woodblock Wednesday. I love looking through the woodblock stamps I saved, and often wish I’d saved a few more!
Love this – reminds me of old Mary Engelbreit designs!
I was also reminded of Mary Engelbreit designs. Cute card. You take a simple design & elevate the end result with all the extras. 🙂
We so easily over-look those simple single stamps Karen – and how wonderful you kept them AND brought them out to create this sweet card! Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational: Birthday! Julia xx
I’m loving the black and white blocks with these bright flowers, Karen! Beautifully CAS!
Well those stamps may be ‘Vintage’, but you have made a very beautiful and modern card!Thanks for sharing at Seize the Birthday Challenge:)
I love that this is from your first stamp shop trip! Your coloring is perfect.
Thanks so much for playing along with Woodblock Wednesday!
Love the colour scheme and love that font!
