Birthday Blog Hop!!!

 

Birthday Blog Hop Graphic copy

Let’s light the candles and strike up the music!! The owner of Flourishes – Jan Marie Caruso – is celebrating a birthday and we’re helping her by getting the party started with just about the entire Flourishes Crew!  Why not leave some love on her blog HERE and while you are hopping around, pay a visit to the Flourishes team members who are honoring her special day!

Happy Birthday, Jan Marie! You are a beautiful lady, inside and out and I am so honored to be able to work for Flourishes. I hope you have the best birthday ever, because no one deserves it more than you!

I decided to make Jan Marie’s card using the February flower from
A Year In Flowers, Set 1. I love every flower in all three sets—the size is perfect for card making.

I stamped the beautiful primrose image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with these Copic Collections:

Evergreen Collection:

Lenten Rose Collection:

After I cut it out with the Tailor-Made Classic Keyhole Die Set I added the sentiment on vellum and covered the foam dots with pearls. I embossed the background panel and added THIS ribbon.

Then I stamped another sentiment on the inside with an image from
Tag Lines.
