Happy Birthday to Eula! The glass house challenge for today's TPT made me think of all kinds of things but not really a birthday-themed card. So ... I recalled the cuff from Urbanrose that inspired me that I had not made a card for as yet. I decided Eula just might like it as a birthday greeting.
On ? metalllic blue paper, in brown Memories ink, I stamped an Inkadinkadoo floral branch. While it dried completely, I cut flowers from Michael's paper my SU Flower Trio stamp. I stamped them with a tiny PTI stamp. I randomly added the flowers to the branches w/Tombo glue (thank goodness for my Quickstik!) Cut Michael's brown mat and PTI vintage cream c.s. card base. Inked edges with Ranger DI vintage photo. Put layers together. From the same paper I cut the flowers, I used a PTI die to cut a frame for the greeting. Stamped a PTI greeting inside, out and on the ep. Inked all edges with Ranger DI vintage photo.
The inside says
to someone who's made a special place for themselves in this world -- Happy Birthday (3 stamps.)
On the envelope, I stamped the H BD and flowers in the corners.
I will write Eula a shot letter to tell her about myself/life, as she asked.

What a gorgeous inspiration piece (I'm going to buy the bracelet - TFS!) Love what you did with the combination of papers and image. Wonderful card for Eula!
