Bloomin Birthday!

Good morning everyone! I made this for my wonderful niece, who just turned 15, yesterday. There are 3 young ladies in our family (including my daughter) who are cousins, that are all the same age for about 2 months. They are really close, too! Well, this one niece starts the age difference/change and she is very special to us all. And my daughter is really close to her. So knowing her birthday was coming up, my daughter came to me with her inspiration of what colors she wanted to make, and what she wanted on her card. She wanted me to make my butterflies and some handmade flowers. So we ran with her idea and edited where needed, and this is the result! My daughter had a blast smashing up the flowers and inking up the leaves and getting "green thumbs" from it! LOL I think when my daughter and I work together, we make a great team. We had fun, and my niece loved her card!

I used:
Kates ABCs for the flower pot
Gypsy Wanderings for the flowers cut at several different sizes
DCWV the glitter card stock stack
DCWV The Pocket full of Posies Matstack for the Back Ground paper and the  purple and green flowers
Green card stock for the hand cut leaves
Ribbon from the $1 bin (LOVE IT)
Stickles
Rhinestones
Sentiment is computer generated
Stampin Up! Stamps (I have no idea what the name is) but it was for the butterflies, which were stamped and then I cut it out from the image and then stamped the backside, too.




Thank you for taking a look and I hope you have GREAT day, today!
