Kay's 2025 Birthday Card

I drew my very dear, sweet friend, Kay, her favorite flower,

Rose of Sharon, for her birthday card.

I'm really pleased with how it turned out!

With Kay's favorite color being pink,

I chose pink textured cardstock for the main card

and colored the drawing with two coordinating pinks.

The background is a mini pastel in blue color,

 rubbed on with a wedge makeup sponge.

The stamen in the centers of the flowers were first colored in ivory,

then topped with ivory colored Flower Soft for some texture.

Pretty pink glitter enamel dots were perfect for this card!

As with all of the hand drawn birthday cards for friends,

I printed the name of the flower and adhered it onto the card

with foam tape for dimension.

Lastly, the inside sentiment is computer printed 

in one of my most favorite fonts, Papyrus.

The corners are punched and then decorated with tiny pink rhinestones.

Thanks for viewing Kay's card.

She's very special to me.

Have a blessed day,

Lisa >^..^<
