Textured Notes birthday in Balmy Blue and Night of Navy

 This card features the Textured Notes stamp and die set. I also used the awesome The Right Words stamp set that will be available in May when the 2025-2026 annual catalog come out. I cased this card, making a few changes, from a fellow demonstrator Bree Kathleen. I just loved the light and dark blue card stock and stamping she used with the dies.
