Hello my friends!  Are you anxious for spring?  I certainly am!  Actually, the weather in my part of Florida has been totally abnormal for some time now, and I have azalea bushes blooming already. I love when my hibiscus bushes start blooming as some of them have 6″ – 8″ flowers!  They are beautiful!

To get me in the frame of mind for spring, I’ve created a beautiful Happy Birthday card featuring the Stampin’ Up! Birthday Blooms Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper.  The large floral stamp in the stamp set is so gorgeous and can be colored with numerous colors.  I’m not 100% sure, but I think the image is of a peony.

Also, I created my card in response to a “sketch challenge” at Splitcoaststampers.com. This is the sketch – ©Splitcoaststampers.com:
