Feminine Birthday Cards

As I was going through my craft room today trying to tidy up and organize, I came across a box of bits and pieces left over from when I used to do card workshops. I haven't done a card workshop in years, and I think I made fewer than ten cards in 2025, which means my box of extra cards is pretty depleted, so making up a few new cards using these scraps seemed like a good idea. For the first batch, I used Sketch-n-Scrap's January card sketch and made two birthday cards for gals. I used the sketch pretty much as is except I didn't round the corners and I added a larger sentiment, but on the second version, I rotated it a half turn. I also added some shimmer to the Happy on the first card and the big flower on the second card. I tried to photograph it so that the sparkle showed (see the third photo), but I'm not sure how successful I was, so you will have to take my word for it that it is pretty!
