Hello again, crafty friends. I have a birthday card to share today… To create this card, I started with the background.

Hello again, crafty friends. I have a 5×5 square card to share today… To create this card, I applied ink through THESE layering stencils to create a sunflower background.

Instead of using the last layer of the stencils, I just added some white...
