Sunflower Birthday Card

 Hello, thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog. Some of you may have seen my last post where I shared my mom's birthday card and also about my mom's illness. Sadly, she has passed away.  It's a very sad and difficult time right now for me and my family. But we find comfort in knowing that she is now home in heaven with her family that she missed so much and with Jesus. 

Her birthday is in a few days and I'm so glad that we had her an early birthday party and that she got to see the card that I had made for her.

Thank you to the one's that said a prayer for my mom and my family. 

Today I have a Birthday card to share with you all. This one is for my daughter Jade. She was actually due on my mom's birthday, but she was born a few days early. 



My daughter loves sunflowers, she plants some every year. So, I thought she would love this image. 

I colored it with alcohol markers. Used a sponge to add a little blue in the sky with Bashful Blue Ink from S.U.

Cardstocks used- S.U. Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Early Espresso and white

Embossing folder is called Forest Branches, sentiment from Spellbinders and tag die is from S.U.


Again, thank you for stopping by, Hope you have a blessed day.
