 just a quick card for challenge # 288 from mojo Monday,& for simon says stamps challenge. I am happy to be back making my cards.

 I decided to make this a Birthday Card for a very special friend , as I missed her Hubby's so sorry Bob.  

 Supplies :

 1 - Hot Pink, Sage & Yellow card stock by Stampin Up !
 2 -  Printed card stock ( All Seasons) by Recollections
 3 - Clear stamp by Hampton Art " Happy Easter to you"
4 - All Seasons card stock paper by Recollections

6 - Small Butterfly  and punch by Martha Stewart

10 - Classic Stampin'Up! stamp pad "Always Artichoke"


Tutorial:

I cut my card 6"x4 1/2" then I cut my printed paper and my other card stock following the sketch, I used my  my glue stick to put the paper in place then added my hot pink, sage green and yellow card stock put it in place then, used my clear stamp Happy Birthday.  I added my pink and white polka dot ribbon.  I enjoyed putting this card together I have been so busy the past couple of week,s I have not been posting any of my cards.  I would like to add that this Beautiful Old pitcher was My great Grandmothers from Italy and handed down through the generations to me I cherish it always and love sharing it with my cards from time to time.
