Happy Birthday


 This is my second post today.





I made this card for a dear friends birthday.  It is a four panel card and you can
find the directions here.   I have had this background paper in my stash
for many years (probally 15-20) and decided it was time to use it, it reminds
me of Monet's style of painting.  I used die cuts from numerous stamp
companies to compliment the paper. 

If you would like to wish Diane a happy birthday, her blog is:

Bringing the paper out of your stash was the perfect. This card is lovely. I've never seen this particular design and I really like it.

I am not surprised you kept that paper for so long. It really is pretty and very much like a Monet painting. I have visited his gardens and house in France a few years ago now. Thankyou for coming and playing in the butterfly garden with me. Hugs Mrs A.

Wow! This is stunning! I saw it over on Creative Creases and wanted to get a closer look. Thanks for sharing the link to the instructions. I found all sorts of great card design ideas in the archives at the Butterfly Challenge. I wasn't familiar with that challenge before, so I appreciate you sharing the link.

Donna, thank you so much for your kind words on my blog and for becoming a follower. I went to follow you back and saw that I had already been following you! I’m the third person on your third page of followers (at least that’s how it shows up for me). I enjoyed looking at your GD page and think that’s a brilliant idea to have a link to those.
