Birthday Wishes

Good morning everyone....I am having such a great day!!! I'm still in my pj's and have been stamping all morning...can't get any better than that!!! I need to get my rear in gear because I am going to Round Top this weekend with my girlfriends...Whoohoo!!!! It's an antiques fair that is spread out in several towns  south east of Austin. Some dealers set up large circus type tents in fields and fill it full of antiques and others have large buildings....it's a bit overwhelming but exciting at the same time!!! We will be staying in a bed and breakfast Sat. night and shop again on Sunday...I won't be able to walk for days when I get home but I'll have 6 months to recover till the next one...LOL!!! Anyway....
I made this card for the Free 4 All challenge on Splitcoast to use a blocked background with patterned paper. Papers from Cosmo Cricket's Nutmeg were used for the blocks and the sentiment is from an A muse set called Contemporary Greetings. Sewing was done around the block edges and the flower was made with a Stampin Up! die...the layers were embossed with the Dotted Swiss folder and the leaves were made from a Spellbinder's die. Twine and Candy Dots finish it off. The Mojo Monday #208 sketch was used for the layout and I used the Color Throwdown colors: Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, and Chocolate Chip.This is also for:
1. Paper Crafting Journey - use punches or diecute
2. Scrapbook Sisters - leaves
3. Deep Ocean Challenge - Happy Birthday
