Birthday Wishes

The background for this card was made by cleaning off my brayer. I added flowers and leaves from my cards parts - they are from Altenew. The piece across the center is an opaque vellum, and I added thin black strips on each side. The sentiment is from Gina K. I used a couple black "nail heads" to accent the sentiment. I also added a bit of sparkle to the spots in the flower center.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

A clean brayer is always a good thing but even better when you can use the card stock you cleaned it off on! Wonderful idea and beautiful card

So, so pretty! I love the yellow flower against the pink background. It's such a good idea to clean your brayer off on a clean white piece of cardstock. I really need to remember to do that, instead of just wiping the excess ink away with a cloth.

I have a pad of paper full of sheets very similar to the ones you make by cleaning off your brayer. Pretty!

How fun that you were able to create a pretty background for that flower by simply cleaning off the brayer!
