Good Morning! Today, is a very special day...it's my sister's birthday! So, I'm sharing the card that I made for Dianne's birthday. I had made Laurie Wilson, our CDS Design Team Coordinator a birthday card using another A Muse "Elzybells" stamp, and Dianne just loved the "Elzybells". So, I had to grab another "Elzybells" stamp to create her card. I chose this one called "Hugs", because it reminded me of us. Awww! Dianne is the blonde and I'm the brunette (although it looks like I'm losing my hair, which I'm known to do with this menopause! LOL).I used the Nestabilities' largest square scalloped die to cut the front and back and cut another piece of matching white cardstock to 3.5" wide x 7" high, gluing that to the outer scalloped front and back panels. Some of Dianne's favorite colors to wear are red and green (not necessarily together) and that's why I chose this cute "Twitterpattered" Designer Paper Collection as the basis for the color scheme. I'm in love with that Martha Stewart dot/eyelet border punch! Can't you tell? I'm reaching for it incessantly! LOL I've posted a photo of the stamped interior of the card above, as well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIANNE! I hope that your day is filled with much joy and blessing! I love you!

I am glad you included the button source. So cute! The scalloped button matches the scallops around the card edge and the flowers, all so very well coordinated.
OMG, Linda...I just today purchased these exact same dp's at my local stamp store...Too funny! And this card is so adorable, it's great inspiration!
Linda, this is wonderful! I love all the colors you chose and what a fun card! It really makes me miss my sister. She lives too far away from me ;(
