AI challenge - Milestone Birthdays #400

The theme for the 400th challenge for Art Impressions is Milestone Birthdays. And 2025 is a milestone birthday for myself and many of my classmates from the class of 1968. We turn 75!! So this card is going to be used for one of my friends who celebrates this big day in July.

I used this great stamp set from Art Impressions called "Spring Chicken" set. I die cut my numbers in silver chrome cardstock. I used a few scraps of design paper from my stash for this quick and fun card. I mounted it all to a blue card base. I stamped the chickens with versafine clair black ink and colored it with alcohol markers. I fussy cute around the chicks and mounted them with foam dimenstionals. 

 

Seize the Birthday - spring florals

I made this card for the Seize the birthday challenge this week which was to use spring flowers. 

I stenciled my background using A Colorful Life stencil with distress oxide inks. Then I dry embossed the stencil using a 3-D embosing folder. This stamp set I got from Unity and it is designed by Gina K. I used blending brushes with distress oxide ink for the flowers and I used alcohol markers for the hightlights on the flowers and also for coloring the leaves. I mounted this card front on a lavender card base. The sentiment is from Impression Obsessions.
