On to my creation!
I don't know this.... but when I think of Tammy, I think she's a reader. I hope I'm right because I kind of based my whole card on that thought! ;-) I thought, what would be so nice to do on a special day? Curl up with a good book and a little TLC like a bunch of fresh flowers and just Ahhhhhhh... relax! So, thus -- the image from Flourishes From the Desk of. After stamping it on Flourishes Classic White paper, I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels Seven. I thought this was fun since the shape reminds me of the open pages of a book! (I also used my new Grand Calibur to cut it out -- LOVE this new machine). I colored it up with Copics (RV32, RV34, RV00, RV02, B000, Y21, G82, G40) Add a fun little sentiment -- Dream Big (from the FLLC Enjoy the Ride set). Add a little fun and festive dp, some silk ribbon, some stitching and a fun little button and... almost done!
I also added some glitter glue to the centers of my flowers... see?
I should mention, for my card, I used one of the new March CardMaps that were just unveiled today! If you're looking for inspiration, you can check it out HERE! 10 new sketches with samples from ten designers (including moi!).
So, as I wrap up this post, I hope Tammy gets to kick up her feet and enjoy some down time! I'm so glad to have met this fine woman a few years ago and that we've been able to keep in touch! Tammy, you are one creative and funny gal and I hope you ahve the best birthday EVAH!!!! And, now, please hop along to Betty Wright's blog as the celebration continues!

Gorgeous, Julie! I love that sweet little image--and the glitter on the center of the flowers says PARTY!! What a special card for Tammy this is!
I don't know about kicking up my feet with a book today, but maybe by Saturday! LOL This is amazing, Julie and yes I am a reader... when there is time! THANK YOU so much for helping to make my day so special! I am blown away by this special surprise!
Very sweet card, Julie! Tammy will love it! Oh, I can see she DOES love it! :D
This is so pretty! I love the polka dot papers and the spot of glitter makes those flowers pop!
Pretty and bright and elegant at the same time! Perfect for Tammy!
Hi Julie,
I have been away for a while and just spent some time enjoying all of your beautiful creations. I just love the "From the Desk Of" stamps and you've done an absolutely amazing job with them. Just gorgeous!!
Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Have a beautiful day.
Hugs and Blessings,
Deb
fabulous b'day creation..wonderful coloring....great design
It's so pretty!! She will love it!!
hey Party Girl! Is there cake with all these festivities? LOVE this card! Wonderful image and coloring and glittering and use of the open book shaped labels 7.
I'm not done. I just noticed you changed your photo. I like you much better in color 'cause you are gorgeous IRL! And, yeah, I can say that 'cause I've actually been blessed to meet you in person and I'm not totally blind, just partially, if I take my specs off, but I kept them on the whole time, so I'm sure you're gorgeous. And I'm sure I'm opinionated and mouthy...
This is wonderful, Julie! Fabulous design and love the touches of sparkle!
Another birthday party! Awesome! This is so feminine and pretty, Julie!

Visiting you from Watermelon Sugar's blog.

This is beautiful, Julie! I LOVE how you used the vellum on your card, and stitched your middle panel. Your coloring of the image is out of this world! STUNNING...
Beautiful! Love the vellum frame.
