Hello Crafty Friends and Happy New Year,
I hope you've had a good ending to 2022, and a great start to 2023!
Do you make birthday cards, and do you like card challenges?
Then AAA Birthday is the perfect place for you.
Every month we have a new challenge for you, and as of today the challenges starts on the 1st of the month, and runs throughout the whole month. So let's get started with the first challenge of 2023, game 45 - Anything Birthday Goes.
January is my grandmother's birthday month, and her favourit flowers were tulips. Every birthday my grandfather would give my grandmother a huge bouquet of tulips, a "tradition" I took over after he passed away. My grandmother passed away in 2020, but every January I still get a bouquet of tulips for her and my grandfather on her birthday.
(sentiment reads: "Imagine it's your birthday")
Stamps: "Tulpanflicka" and "Födelsedag (nya fonter)" both by hÄnglar & Wings
Dies: Outside In Stitched Rectangles by Lawn Fawn
Ink: Distress Oxide by Tim Holtz/ Ranger
Markers: Copic
Embelishments: Enamel dots "transparent" by Nellie's Choice
I hope you like my card and that you're inspired to play along with us at AAA Birthday
