Happy Birthday!

Hi Again!

This is my second post for the day.  I'm busy
lately making birthday cards for September for
friends.  I looked over at Inspired by Stamping
challenge blog and was inspired to make this
birthday card for a co-worker. 

Here is the lovely inspiration photo we were
to follow...




I had some Martha Stewart sunflowers in my
stash and went to work on this card.  I added a
brown brad to the center flower.  Lace, leaves,
sentiment, and ribbon added to finish the
card. 

Ok, I think I'm going to enjoy this perfect
weather by enjoying a nice hot cup of tea
out on the deck.  Hope you enjoy your
evening!  Thanks for dropping by!  Take
care, hugs!

Supplies:

Paper:  Kraft Outlet, My Mind's Eye, Bazzill
Stamp:  Inspired by Stamping
Ink:  SU(Crumb Cake)
Lace:  Paper Studio
Flowers:  Martha Stewart
Leaves:  Bazzill
Brad:  Hot off the Press
Gems:  Close to my Heart
Ribbon:  SU(Vanilla)
