Oh my goodness - I went right down the proverbial rabbit hole this morning with the pinterest tag board Stacy chose as inspiration this week. I bookmarked lots of fun images but finally picked this tag as my jumping off point this morning. Rather than a complete stamped image, I decided to stamp some bg swirls & leaves then add die cut daisies for some dimension. I have done quite a few music themed cards lately so changed that to a sentiment bg stamp. I inked just the edges of this stamp so the center wouldn't get WAY too busy . . .

I had to giggle, Linda, when I read your commentary...that was me too....your inspiration is really lovely, but I like how you modernized it with the swirls direct to paper and the fun '60's font. Great dimension.

Linda, this is truly a "happy" birthday card! These colorful daisies are so much fun and look terrific with the stamped swirls behind them. I also love how you softened the background stamping in the middle which is something I forget to do, but love when I see it. I went down the rabbit hole this morning looking at all these glorious tags too. It was so much fun, wasn't it? You have made a stunning card based on your lovely inspiration tag Linda. ~Karen.
