Hello, stampers! In this video, I’m sharing Birthday cards created with the MFT Stamps Zen Friends stamp set. I started working on my cards by, of course, stamping the images. My coloring medium of choice today is alcohol markers, so I stamped images in Copic marker-friendly ink.

CARD DETAILS
These images are adorable, as usual, and they are full of character. All you need to do is to add just a touch of color to bring these to life. I have 3 cards and they all feature the same scene – an adorable critter out in the open stretching and attempting to do yoga.
I have a palm tree or two on each of my cards and the rest is added with the help of Copic markers. These cards are quite simplistic and all you’ll need to make them is the Zen Friends stamp set and a couple of markers from your stash.
I hope you’ll feel inspired to create and will give this idea a try. Have fun crafting!
