Henna Tattoo Card 2 - A Happy Birthday Card

Henna Tattoo Card 2 – A Happy Birthday card I created using the henna sticker I bought from Little India. I love visiting Little India; the crowd, the color, the smell of the various spices and the music that makes you want to dance.

Well, it brings back lots of memories from my stay in Pakistan. I visit Little India at least once a month, to shop and also to visit my friend Shanti and also Velu and his wife.

Anyway, here’s another card I created using the henna stencil. It’s different from the other Henna Tattoo Card.

For this card, I was feeling more colourful and adventurous and because I was thinking of my friends in Little India, I created this card specially with them in mind and thus with gold beads from my jewelry-making stock.

Anyway, have a look!
