SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ SPRING FLORAL by Linda

Hi Friends, well the date says it is spring, but I suppose depending on where you live it may be still winter or even another season!
I am going with SPRING!

Linda is our hostess this month and selected a spring floral for our card topping.  You may always make any kind of birthday card if you don't want to do the floral thing!
This is from The Greetery:  Spring Meadow.  It has stencils and a die to go with it, no stamping!
I used a Pinkfresh Floral and Diamond tiles coverplate but embossed it instead of cutting with it.
It gives a nice texture to the background.
Our Surprise Party Guests are: Deborah you can find her card HERE 
 and Deb you can find her HERE
Please check out the Design Team and all their wonderful springy cards!
See you in the gallery!!
 
 
 



Heart Hugs, friends!

You're gonna think I'm nuts but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw your card was those little Valentine conversational hearts. The soft colors just remind me of those. This is just sooooo pretty...and maybe good enough to eat. ROFL!
