Both cards were made by stamping Sweet Floral with VersaMark and then embossing in white or black embossing powder. The vellum was secured underneath a ribbon bow with the sentiment from Happiest Birthday Wishes added beneath. Some simple matting and layering finished the card off.

It just looks like he's selecting his next ink pad!
