I cut a piece of Clarity Crafts designer paper smaller than my A5 card and adhered. I dry embossed Sizzix Textured card with a Creative Expressions 3D embossing folder. I die cut John Next Door Flowers and leaves from Sizzix Textured card. I die cut Crafter's Companion butterfly dies from matching papers.
I stamped Penny Black Melody Makers stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black onto smooth white card, I also used a PennyBlackclear stamp set to stamp the greeting onto a snippet of white card. I coloured the image with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. Blending as I went along and adding more colour when necessary.
Once I was happy with the stamped image I used a My Favourite Things cloud stencil, Clarity Crafts stencil brushes and Salvaged Patina Distress ink to add clouds around and behind the image.
I adhered the stamped image and the sentiment onto the dry embossed card and trimmed. I layered the flowers. I figured out the layout then added the image and sentiment using foam pads. I adhered the flowers and foliage on place too. I finished with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops and added Tonic Studios Glitter Drops to the flower centres. Back soon x
Lovely bright and happy card Karen, I could be persuaded to bypass Winter and jump into Spring, many thanks for sharing at Stamping Sensations.

A beautiful birthday card Karen, such a lovely stamp, fab colouring and design, great dimension from the raised butterflies. I love those die cut flowers too, the perfect finishing touch.
