You can never have too many birthday cards

So I made another one. This is another z fold card. I found some clipart on clipart library I downloaded the clipart and then in photoshop elements I got rid of the white background and saved it as a png file. Then I uploaded the png to Cricut design space and saved it as a print and cut. From there it was just a matter of gluing the pieces on my card base.


Rather than use a plain card base I decided to stamp the bottom strip with a green ink. I randomly stamped the swirl all over it. The front side I decided to do score lines for a little texture. I meant to ink the edges and it got a little sloppy. Not entirely happy with that but it is what it is.

You can't tell from the picture but I also used some glitter pens on the flames, candles  and cupcake icing.

    1. I originally pulled out a yellow for the card base but then decided on that green instead.
