I just returned from being out of town for a week and I am starting to get back to crafting. Kim's gallery has a lot of inspiration. We have many of the same retired SU stamp sets and colors. I was inspired by this beautiful card. I love all the bright colors she used and the random stamping: Virtual Friendly Flowers by berlycece at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the stamp set, stamping, ribbon and layered sentiment. I did change the colors and used all current ones, the orientation to portrait, the sentiment to birthday, and the shape of sentiment layers to circles. I left off the rhinestone and used Wink of Stella for sparkle. I added a ribbon knot.
Congratulations Kim! Thanks for sharing your wonderful cards with us and for inspiring mine today.

Diane, I love this card! Best Blossoms is one of my first and favorite sets, so I am happy to give you a nudge to use it again. Thanks for making my FS week special!

Great case Diane! I bought this stamp set at a garage sale and have not inked it up yet. I know I have that pretty ribbon too. It makes an excellent accent to your colored stamping. Love the sentiment in the round!

Diane, it's so good to see the wonderful Best Blossoms stamp set again ..... love the colors you used to create this beauty! The sweet whimsical font of your sentiment just says 'happy' to me! You've inspired me to pull out that set and make a card!

What a beauty. I love the floral stamps in that set (wish I owned it) and the bgs it creates are just so lovely (both yours and Kim's). Your color palette is so warm. I love the "feel" of those colors. That sentiment stamp is awesome. Taken all together -- this is one fab card.

The 'Happy Birthday' font is such a happy one! That and the beautiful summer colours of your beautifully stamped card really put a smile on my face! Great tribute to Kim!
