AAA Birthday Challenge #25 - Happy Birthday

Hi craft friends!

It's the first monday of the month and that means a new challenge is starting over at AAA Birthday. This month we're celebrating the 2nd birthday of AAA Birthday Challenge so it's a festive challenge where you can win some prizes from several sponsors!



Flag Hunt

We are a multi country DT and have all placed our country's flag on our personal blogs. We'd love for you to go on a flag hunt to discover our countries. 

Note down each DT - there are 13 - and their country and email your answers to Jane - aaabirthdaychallenge@gmail.com.

All correct answers will be put into a draw and one lucky winner will receive a $25 MFT gift certificate.
 
 

For my card I used one of the sponsor stamps. I used the In Bloom stamp set from Create A Smile and colored the flowers and leaves with Copic markers. Next I cut them out by hand.

As a background of these flowers I stamped a background from Uniko and adhered the flowers with foam tape to create some dimension.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from PTI with Versafine Onyx Black.
