HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MIL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Mother-in-Law who is 92 years young today!

Yesterday's card used this same rose stamp and today you can see nearly the entire design which I stamped in the corner of this pink gingham designer paper. I don't think I have ever stamped on designer paper before unless I was doing paper piecing, but this time it really worked out well.  

The bird cage stamp which coordinates with the rose stamp was also purchased in Branson MO and had never been used.  I got the idea for this card from one I saw in their store.  I did change it up a bit for my use.  Copic markers were used to color the designs.  The pink butterfly was from a package which had not been opened that I have had for quite a while and it seemed like the perfect finishing touch to the card.

Thank you for stopping by!  I invite you to leave a comment to let me know what you think.

It is truly a lovely card. Love the stamping on the dp and the stamps you used are so pretty. You are right, the butterfly finishes it off nicely. She will love it. You are very lucky to have your mother and mother in law still.

Originally I posted this card with just the background pieces and I may have posted this card again after adding the leaves and sentiment.  ...
