Sunflower Baby Birthday Card

The sunflower is a perfect background for this cheerful summer birthday card.

This handmade card measure 5" by 7". The base is a blank cream-colored Strathmore greeting card. I was lucky enough to find an entire box of these blank cards at a thrift shop for a very reasonable price. 

I chose the digital stamp Sunflower Baby from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock using my HP Photo Printer and Instant Ink.

I hand-colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers and Windsor & Newton Promarkers/Brush Markers. I used a round die with pierced edges to cut out the image with my die cutting machine.

I chose the digital background paper from the beautiful Sunflower Digital Junk Journal Kit by CalicoCollage on Etsy. I love to use digital collage papers for the background on my cards. The altered library card was included in this journal kit. I used a rub-on for the "Happy Birthday!" sentiment.

I completed the card with a pretty bow made of blue/white bakers twine.
