Happy Birthday

 First I want to share my happiness with my friends. My card won the Lucy's sketch challenge at Lily Pad blog here. I couldnt even believe and was really jumping with joy...Thank you everyone at Lily Pad for making my day.

Now onto the new card I made last night. I made this card for a dear friend, who has B'day this month. I used the lovely colors from The Play Date Cafe challenge. Lovely combo. I am just in time cos couldn't take a photo as its raining heavily since morning...lol I am also submitting this for the challenge at Simon Says Stamp (Anything goes)  and Lawnscaping challenge.



 Supplies: Stamps (Hero Arts and Papertrey), Distress Inks and Embossing powder from Ranger, fiber and card paper local.
I used Hero Arts woodgrain stamp to clear emboss the grey card, then distressed the edges. I then stamped the leaf on some textured Lime green paper. Stamped the flower with white and colored in red using pencil color and distress ink. Finally embossed the sentiment on Vellum and some faux stitching.
