HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KRIS!

My friend, Kris, is celebrating her birthday today.   This is the card I sent to her.  The flower design is from Hero Arts and was colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from The Stamp Barn (a Canadian company).  I love the font on the sentiment.

After stamping and coloring, my thoughts went to what am I going to use for background paper.  Instead of choosing background paper first, I was afraid I would have a hard time finding something that would coordinate with the colors of the flowers.  The one I chose is from a Basic Grey "Out of Print"  6 x 6 paper pad. The dp is a "busy" pattern but picked up the colors just right.

This Hero Arts stamp is available to be ordered and at a discount, so if you are interested, just let me know.

Thank you for stopping by!  Comments are always welcome!

That is one of my very favorite card of all time of your. Love the font as well.

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