I was going to do something closer to Yana's cards, but wasn't happy with my first attempt using a very light pink. So I turned the panel over and filled it with overlapping flowers using Altenew's Puffy Heart, Purple Wine and Cosmic Berry. Now it looks like printed paper and I really like it. Of course, pink being my favorite color may have something to do with it.😀 I did add some white gouache splatters that came out pretty subtle. This is a sentiment I think works for lots of occasions, including birthdays. I stacked it and used a shimmer pen which you can see in my IG video. The subsentiment is from PTI Scripted and I added TE silver sparkly gems. I'm entering SSS Monday, SSS Wednesday and Seize the Birthday.
I don't want to miss the Pinkfresh Studio July Challenge, so decided to combine it with Color Hues: Yellow and Green. Yellow isn't a color I reach for very often, but it is a happy color--perfect for a birthday card. 
I stamped PFS Modern Layered Florals in Altenew Fresh Lemon, Maple Yellow, Grass Green and Shadow Creek. I added some details with a white gel pen. PFS Lush Vines was clear embossed on soft green textured cardstock and I glued the bouquet to Fancy Oval Frame. The sentiment is from the same set and I added yellow gems. Turned out to be a card I really like, so that's a win! 😊 The colors look more accurate on my phone, unfortunately. I'm also entering Inkspirational.
Like you love pink for cards and this one is lovely, but I am very drawn to the zesty fresh colours of the second.
