There are so many cute characters to look at on this card from my Birthday Song Online Class to Go… it’s hard to pick a favourite!
I went with a softer background for this one and kept the colouring fairly simple. There is already plenty happening in the stamped scene, so it really doesn't need lots of complicated techniques or extra layers, though I did add some of the (retired) Gold Open Weave Trim, poking out from both sides of the centre panel.
It's also a handy birthday design when you want something a little different from the usual floral cards.

You can catch the replay of my Live video if you'd like to see how I put the whole card together.

The flamingos definitely had to make an appearance in this week's Birthday Song Online Class to Go!
I let the stunning Sunset Coast DSP do a lot of the work on this card, then added the group of pink flamingos as the main focal point. The little row of musical notes seemed like an obvious addition. They look like they're doing a pretty good job of providing the birthday entertainment!
A simple sentiment, ribbon and a few embellishments finished it off without covering too much of the background.

If you missed my Live, the replay is available so you can see how this one came together.

The patterned papers gave me the starting point for this birthday card from this week’s Online Class to Go, and I really like how the different designs work together.
I kept the sentiment panel fairly simple, then concentrated the larger flowers, coloured with Stampin’ Blends, along one side. The Peaceful Pine leaves add plenty of contrast, while the little white twine bow and embellishments finish things off without adding too much.
The layout is quite straightforward and easy to adapt to whatever papers and colours you have.

The replay of my Live is available if you’d like to see how I put all the layers together.
