When I think of celebrations, I think birthdays. I for one can never have enough birthday cards on hand. So I decided to showcase a birthday card using two of the French stamps that CTMH currently sells as well as a sneak peek of one of the new paper collections that will be available starting May 1st.

The card cover is made with two 2"x2" squares of Central Park paper. The sentiment and the bubbles are from the Invitation (French) stamp (C1701)

For the inside, I used another of Close To My Heart's French stamps, the gorgeous Bonne Fête (A1212). It is stamped in archival black ink to give a crisp glossy image. The delicate flowers and leaves are coloured with Shin Han alcohol markers.
