This morning, I made this birthday card to join the current challenge over at the Caardvarks.
*They showed us so many sweet designed cards by DT members. I hope this qualifies to entry.
Here is my card, 'happy birthday'.
The bird staying up all night caught the worm??? Haha.I stayed up all night yesterday.
For the infant children or other school age children.
'The early bird catches the worm.' is a correct saying.

My question above was solved by a lovely lady (her blog) on Jul. 20th.
Thanks so much, Heather!!! :) - I almost forgot to update this post till today... I'm sorry!
I choose the color combo for the coloring on the stamped part, because the receiver loves mauve colors.
And I'm going to send this to one of my German friends tomorrow.
This spring, actually I sent this Cling Floral Garden stamp to her. Made this one as one of the samples, though this is not a good one, I know.
After stamped the cling stamp with Ranger distress inks Worn Lipstick and Victorian Velbet first, put the Perfect Pearls Rust slightly on it with a brush. Drew the line of the flower petals with opaque Bronze color marker. And then I added the colors of Distress inks -See my surpplies I listed below, please.- (I used the Distress inks as water colors.) And again, I put the Perfect Pearls Rust slightly on it with a brush.
Stamp used:
Hero Arts Old french Writing / H2365
Hero Arts Cling Floral Garden / CG107
Hero Arts Sparkle Clear Happy Greetings / CL180
Supplies:
SEI CS, Bazzil Basics CS, watercolor paper
Tsukineko Versa Fine / Onyx Black
Ranger Distree Ink / Worn Lipstick, Victorian Velbet, Broken China, Antique Linen,
Spiced Marmalade
Ranger Perfect Pearls / Rust, Stickles / Platinum, Fruite Punch
Hero Arts Accent Pearls, Opaque marker Bronze, ribbon
