I had lots of fun making the April birthday cards for work using my new Altenew Christmas flowers that came free with a stamping magazine. What a deal. I enjoyed doing the triple stamping with distress inks and then spritzing them with water to get the inks to blend a bit. Some Wink of Stella, glitter and pearls and they are ready to go at the April staff meeting.
A few fun challenges:

Oh my, I didn't know Altenew was doing freebies in any of our USA magazines. Love how you've made these flowers so pretty on each of the cards, and yet the look was varied by the colors of the other elements. Love the spring feel of each card, and especially liked your brusho background. Good job on the flower layering too! TFS & Yay Cardinals! Hugs
