Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Happy Sunday! Here's a Slimline botanical birthday card inspiration...I like sending Birthday Cards, for a handmade touch...don't know how many people keep them, but at least I get to enjoy making them! lol!

I trimmed a CTMH Artbooking Cricut overlay for the background, and colored it with watercolor paints in 3 different shades of green. Then, layered the other elements.

Circles and leaves dies cuts + pp (from my stash), CTMH sentiment stamp (retired),  Cherry Blossoms stamp set, foam tape and alcohol-based marker.

This card was inspired by Atlantic Hearts Sketch #410 Sketch:
