SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ OFF THE EDGE

Shirley is challenging us to make a birthday card with images "off the edge".

I used a stamp/stencil/die set from Gina K called Lovely Flowers
I added the flower and leaf colors to a strip of cardstock to match and used that for the side of the card.

This is the inside of the card.
This was a fun challenge, thanks, Shirley!
Now it is your turn to make a card off the edge!  There is more inspiration for you from the design team and from our Special Party Guest Jolanda
 

Heart Hugs, friends!
