Now onto our January challenge over on the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog.

 Here's this months INSPIRATIONAL mood board ...

 Here's my card ...

My focus flower is a stamp & die set from Altenew called 'Build a Garden - Dear Dahlia'.  I've once again used Tombow markers for my coloring and the pretty background paper is from a Dress my Craft 6x6  paper pad called 'Hydrangea Lawns'.  The sentiment is a set from the TON company.  I've also added a few little dabs of Nuvo white crystal drops for added dimension.

OH and forgot to mention ... it's difficult to see, but on the right side you will see that the strip I cut off to make my A6 card panel was then punched using an OLD Martha Stewart border punch then added back over top the decorative panel.  That strip I had to cut off had another one of those lacy corners and I didn't want to lose it so did the next best thing!  LOL

OK YA'LL

IT'S BIRTHDAY TIME!!!

 Here's the inspiration board we are sharing for the birthday portion of our challenge:

 

 And here is the card I've created . . .

Today I've chosen to use the Altenew Statement Flowers stamp & die set.  I've used Tombow markers for the coloring.  The sentiment is one from the Pink Fresh 'Perfect Sentiments' stamp & die set.  My background frame is a die from Paper Rose 'Stitched Rectangle Frames' (#16679) and I've added a few gems for a touch of sparkle.

Now it's time for you to come check out all the details and come join in the fun!
