Birthday card for Freshly Made Sketches challenge

Hi everyone!
I made a birthday card based on a sketch from "Freshly Made Sketches".
How I made it:
Started with pink cardstock.
Big flower stamp is from 'Close To My Heart' and I used silver ink.
Added washi tape, one of my favorite craft supplies ever!
The "It's Your Birthday" is a sticker set from The Dollar Tree.  They have a great selection!
Added silver ribbon and it's done.
Simple but personalized for a birthday girl who likes pink.

Thanks for swinging by!

Hello Card for Freshly Made Sketches challenge FMS393

I haven't used this blog in a very long time but I really love the card challenge blogs for inspiration and hope to play along more often.

(Even though I haven't used this blog, I've been posting my cards on Facebook so click HERE for the link. And yesterday I started A Paper Endeavor card profile on Instagram HERE so feel free to find me on those platforms. )

I am playing along with Freshly Made Sketches.  I love the simple layout since I'm a simple girl.  Here is their inspirational sketch:

And my card:
I started with a white cardstock base.
Layered a pretty green and white patterned paper on that.
I just bought the cactus stamp from Amazon.  Stamped in black StazOn ink and used various tones of green colored pencils to fill it in.
The green border strips are from my scrap bin.
Hello sentiment is a "Little Yellow Bicycle" die cut.
Finished it off with a touch of green glitter glue on all the cacti but you can't quite see it in the picture.

Thanks for swinging by,
Mary
