Hello! I have a special post to share today celebrating the recent birthday of a sweet friend, Marybeth. Several of her friends have gotten together to surprise her with a belated birthday blog hop, and I'm delighted to be participating. I hope you had a fantastic birthday, Marybeth!
The inspiration for my card came from this photo collage I recently pinned:

I welcomed the opportunity to pull out WPlus9's Fresh Cut Florals, using the coordinating dies to quickly cut, stamp, and layer a little bouquet, adding some glitter to the flower centers with a Wink of Stella clear brush.

Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Fresh Cut Florals, Strictly Sentiments 1), Avery Elle (Knotty)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Garden Green), Hero Arts (Soft Granite), Memento (Tuxedo Black)
Tools: WPlus9 Design Studio (Fresh Cut Florals dies), corner rounder
Other: Wink of Stella clear glitter brush, rhinestones
