Tropical Birthday


by Laurie, A must see video for watercolor backgrounds!


Seize the Birthday
Hello ! I am playing along in a few challenges today with this fun 
birthday card . I am trying to get some masculine cards made,
to have on hand.


I loved watching Lauri's MIM video and learned a few new tips!
The pretty envelope is from Birch Press Design link in
the sidebar of my blog.


I have an earlier post Here that I used this technique on . I think this is the first time I used this stamp set from Papertrey Ink !

God bless you!
