This stamp set has great sentiments for birthdays and I love the images. The paper is from the Forever Greenery Designer Series Papers which is one of my favorites and is on sale since it’s on the retiring list.

On the inside stamp sentiment with Gorgeous Grape Ink. Stamp the floral image with Garden Green Ink, stamping off first to get a lighter image. Then color the flowers using a Blender Pen and some Melon Mambo Ink.
