Hey lovelies!Today I'm sharing a simple card using the "Flying With Friends" stamp set from Mama Elephant!

Hey lovelies!I thought I'd change it up from all the love themed posts this week and make a birthday card instead.

I thought Lawn Fawn's "Happy Village" stamp set would be perfect for this occasion! I started by blending two backgrounds using Heffy Doodle's "UnbeLEAFable" stencil and Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink.  I splattered my backgrounds with the Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink and some gold watercolour paint before putting them aside to dry. Once they were completely dry I die cut two polaroid frames using...
