I needed to make an 80th birthday card for a dear elderly friend for this weekend and I loved the color combination of the flowers found on these bed sheets: http://www.companyc.com/bedding-shee...ding/18622.htm
I stamped the jar and then had to mask the gerbera's as this is a single stamp - also needed to draw in the stems. I used Nestabilities Labels Four and sponged while in the die. I finished with a little tag for the "80", a double bow, and stickles on the flower centers and jar. The sentiment is computer generated with Elegant font.
