Tropical Birthday wishes

 Hello and welcome friends!

If you are like me, you're getting pretty sick

of winter and are looking forward to warmer weather.

With that in mind, here is a

tropical themed birthday card I made:

I've been challenging myself to use something from my

ever growing NBUS pile. First is that gorgeous shell/flower stamp.

I purchased it at least 6 months ago and finally opened the packaging.

Also, the flamingo paper I've had for over 2 years and I finally

cut into it. It's from a 12" x 12" sheet.

Here is the inside:

Since I (finally) used some of my new supplies, I'm entering

this at the current NBUS Challenge #70. I also used the current 

sketch from Atlantic Hearts Challenge #611.

Thanks for stopping by to visit! I hope you have a great rest of your day!
