Happy Birthday to You in Flirty Flamingo

This beautiful stamp cake is a new Sale-a-Bration stamp set that can be earned FREE with a $50 order.  It now also has a die-cut called Birthday Dies that can be purchased so not only can you die cut the cake, but you can also die-cut the flowers and leaves.  I also used the 3D Stone Embossing Folder that is with the SAB set Power of Hope which can be earned FREE with a $100 order.  Here are the instructions for my card:

Lovely Lily Pad Watercolor

My first post for February is a card that was inspired by Alisa Tilsner from Australia.  She has a video on how to use makeup brushes for the background instead of using a brayer.  I really liked the look so I bought a few of them on Amazon.  The colors I used in the background were the Pacific Point and Pool Party ink pads.  The set I used is called Lovely Lily Pad which I earned FREE from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  I stamped the lotus flower on watercolor paper using Stazon ink and Melon Mambo and Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Markers as well as the Aqua Painter.  I used Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz for the lily pad.  The sentiment is from the Happy Birthday To You set also earned FREE from SAB catalog.
Here are my instructions:
