Bougainvillea Slimline Birthday Card

Hello everyone… It is still February but I am dreaming of Spring already because the colorful flowers warm my heart.

Thinking of flowers, I want to share with you this Bougainvillea Slimline Birthday Card.

I had fun creating this birthday slimline card using digital stamp set from Graciellie Design:

I printed the images and sentiment with Laser Printer and then I added foil on them using Therm O Web Deco Foil Transfer Sheets (Teal, Gold Shattered Glass, Black) using a Lamimating machine.

I colored the flowers with Arteza Real Brush Pens and water brush. The foil resisted the watercolor paint. After that, I dried the pain with craft heater and then fussy cut the flowers with scissors.

I used Wavy Slimline Framelit Dies to create the frame. And for the sentiment I used the label die from Cheers Word Die. Both dies are from Dare 2B Artzy.

I hope this card warms your heart as well… Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful day.
