Happy Birthday Melanie

Nothing like making and posting a card on your blog before you place it in the mail, but I believe this young lady will forgive me.  After all, she's already forgiven me for nearly missing her big day.  So I wish Melanie a big Happy Birthday today (I also called her) and her card can say it all over again in a few days!  Nothing like keeping a celebration alive.

I decided that I wanted to draw a flower myself, and so I used our water color paper and markers and did just that.  I love drawing flowers and haven't been doing it much - maybe this will revive my painting.  You know you've got to start somewhere. I used Tangerine Tango for the card and used the new set  Nature Walk from the Mini Occasion catalog.  I used the butterfly and the bee. The ribbon is Tangerine Tango, but long ago retired.  The flower is layered on Tangerine Tango and Early Expresso.  I used the Word Window and Modern Label for the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

So once again, Happy Birthday Mel and many, many more!

Happy Stamping,
