Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda back with a Project Inspiration project to share with you today!! There’s something extra special about a handmade birthday card filled with layers, dimension, and beautiful details!! For this card, I combined a gorgeous mix of deep berry, coral, and yellow flowers with leafy greenery, pops of sparkling blue, and a blue houndstooth background. A little white splatter adds an artistic touch, while the sentiment brings everything together with a cheerful birthday wish!!
