#CardsForUkraine Birthday Edition

Hi Crafty Friends,
I created 3 Birthday cards for you featuring #cardsforUkraine colors in support of peace in Ukraine. I was inspired by a few challenges. Three from Paper Trey Ink (listed below), ModSquad, and Time Out's 8th Birthday Challenge. I hope these will bring a smile to the face of my Ukrainian crafty friends who have birthdays this month. I learned the double embossing technique from Wanda on the PTI blog. Dry embossing folders rubbed with versa mark so you can use heat embossing to add the glitter part!
