Faithfulness

 An older lady at church fell and had a stroke, her family had to put her in a nursing home just before her birthday. I was hoping this card gave her some peace. When I went to cut the stamp out with the die that came with it I got it a little off but thought it still looked ok. I fussy cut around the sentiment and matted it and fussy cut that also.

Birthday in Blue

 I saw this pretty pack of papers with these lovely florals over at Paperwihses.com I thought they would be such pretty focals for cards. The other side is pretty pattern paper but I can't cut up the pretty florals to use it so I used another paper pack to go with it. I cut a mat for the image with my pinking scissor. Also added some washi tape, a butterfly from a punched piece of smooshed ink paper, and finished it off with a combo of die cut and stamped sentiment.
