Happy Birthday Lia

Lia is my new SIL.  My brother Steve, and Lia, live in Denver so I don't get much of a chance to visit them.  I'm sending her a "funny" card and this card for her "upcoming" birthday.

The free cutting file (Rose Card) is from Bird's Cards.  She's so generous to share her talent.  I added two flower die cuts ( Chloe Stem and Prim Poppy) from Memory Box.  The sentiment and punches are from Fiskars.  I also added lace, ribbon and stitching.

Happiness is an unexpected hug

I put the sentiment on the inside this time.  I made several of these cards.  Another sentiment, "Consider yourself hugged today".  This is "Hugs and Chicks" from Inky Antics.

I followed the sketch for the Digi Sketch Challenge.  I was going to colored the flowers, but it is snowing here (a rarity) and my flowers are white from the snow...so I went with the moment....lol
