This is a lovely design and a matching envelope makes it so professional looking. Thanks for joining in the fun at Seize the Birthday Challenge.
I love the nearly monochrome colours on your card. Also the matching envelope for it. I try to make envelopes to match my cards as well. You can often use up all the snippets that way. Hugs Mrs A.
Beautiful and elegant CAS design. The matching envelope is fantastic with the front and back flap design too. Thanks for sharing at Colorful Options March Challenge.
OM Goodness . . . I really LOVE this birthday card. Great stencil layering for the background and nice focal point of the abstract flowers.
Congrats on the recognition of your gorgeous MM ATC too.
Beautiful flowers! xxx
This is a fun look with all the spots and dots Kathy, and then the dotty flowers over the top look great. Congratulations on another Top 3 place with this super ATC, and love those beautiful flowers. x
Another stylish CAS birthday card Kathy .. great stamping and stencilling, and how lovely to receive 2 such gorgeous bouquets of flowers

Love your clean and simple handmade background. I get what you mean about your husband's hobby. My husband is off skiing right now. Look at me in my craft room, guilt free! lol! Thanks for joining us at Art Impressions.
Hi Kathy. I enjoyed how you combined a number of products but still created a clean card full of creativity. You put your own touches in it and it turned out great. Thanks for submitting your project to the Green Galore Challenge at Art Impressions!

Great monochromatic background. I like how you combined two stencils and some stamping for great interest. I also appreciate all the white space to make a lovely clean and simple card. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Birthday Challenge.
