Birthday Card with Stampin' Up! 
Translucent Florals Stamp Set

This background is made with my watercolor brush and 2024-2026 In colors Petunia Pop and Pretty in Pink. Several stamps from the Translucent Florals stamp set were used to create the focal point on this beautiful card. There is also a Translucent Florals die set available, but I didn't use it this time. Matching Resin dots give this a finished look. All products available from Stampin' Up! Find me under "Find a Demonstrator".
