I then took the Happy Birthday sentiment stamp from the Big Birthday Words collection from Woodware and stamped it out on to some white stamping card using an Altenew Jet Black mini cube (I used this ink as it wouldn't be coloured or anything). I trimmed around it and edged it with a Black alcohol marker and attached it to the centre of the card with foam pa...
