If that’s where you started, you should have come from Tina’s blog and if you did, you are right on track with the hop!
I created my blue background paper and the papers I used for my flowers and butterfly using distress inks and distress oxide inks. I used just about all the reds, blues and greens to create the papers. I cut and shaped my flowers from the Floral Bouquet Kit from Cheery Lynn Designs using a foam pad and stylus and added the foliage and flowers to the lower left corner building from the bottom up starting with the foliage. The flower centers are 10 and 14mm Half Pearls from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
My bow was created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using two of the ribbons from the May Ribbon Club Assortment. You can see a third red patterned satin ribbon peeking out beneath the flowers and butterfly that I wrapped around the center of the card.

I love how you have coloured your background paper and your embellishments – Great job and beautiful card. Happy Hopping
OH wow Bonnie this card is absolutely stunning! I love that birthday sentiment so so so much!! Your double ribbon bow is so pretty!!!! Something about that blue/red combo looks so striking together, I think it is due to the actual shades of those colors. They seem brighter, just really stands out. I love your handmade blue background paper and the florals!!! That butterfly too though! Gorgeous!!!! Can I just say how thrilled I am that you are apart of my blogaversary this year??? And that Really Reasonable Ribbon is sponsoring!!! That is so awesome girlie! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for being apart of this with me this year and for always being such a great friend! Thank you for creating such a gorgeous card! And thank you for all that you do for us with your blog and all your videos and tutorials. You are a huge inspiration to me and that is what this year was all about for me. It was about the people and companies that inspire me and have through the years that my blog has been up and running. So I’m thankful to have you be apart of it!
