I needed a birthday card for a friend, so I made this one for her, but I'm making another one just like this for Connie with a different sentiment. This is for this week's Teaparty and also for this week's Squigglefly challenge. For the Teaparty we can bring trees, something golf related, or a wintry card. I chose this beautiful Spring Tree from Squigglefly, but made it a summer tree by adding lots of fluff! The Squigglefly challenge is to add texture to your card, so the green fluff and the embossed dots fill that bill! I merged the image with the Birthday wishes sentiment also from Squigglefly and colored everything with copic markers. I got the fun grassy stuff from Meyer Imports. they have a lot of unique embellishments there!

Great coloring and the fluff on your tree sure adds a great dimension and texture!
