Let’s light the candles and strike up the music, the owner of Flourishes – Jan Marie Caruso – is celebrating a birthday and we’re helping her by getting the party started! Hop on over to her place on the web HERE and wish her a Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday Jan Marie!
I used one of my favorite sets, Sweet Peas, for my card, and did the coloring with Distress Inks by Rangers. I tried to make it look like an old polaroid photo, and the Spellbinders dies were perfect for the job:)
I also added some photocorners.
I know that the other Flourishes team members have a little something for Jan Maries birthday too. And If you haven`t already been through the list, start here:

This is totally exquisite, Yvonne! Your image is so beautifully colored and I really love the Polaroid type frame you created. The die cut edges are lovely too!
Yvonne your card is stunning!
Very elegant! Love the borders with the image.
Gorgeous beyond words, Yvonne! What a beautiful edge, and your framing of the sweet peas is divine. Love the extra color the blue ribbon adds, as well as the sweetness of the gingham. Just fabulous, as always!
Oh my gosh!!! I am a total fan of yours and this is Amazing!! Your distress technique is absolutely Perfect! I love your coloring too, it's wonderful! :)
Love the way you used the border stamp on the card edges and down the middle to back the ribbon! Very inventive. Beautiful image and design.
Thank you for sharing! :)
This is absolutely gorgeous Yvonne! I love seeing your creations, they are always so beautiful and inspiring!
Yvonne
How very sweet. It looks like a miniature work of art ready to take off the card and hang on the wall.
Breathtaking. I always look forward to seeing a new post. I just love to see your beautiful work.
That should be framed! Not mailed!!
Very pretty
What a gorgeous card! I just love it. The flowers are so delicate and the border detail, stunning!
Lovely!! Love all the edge punching!!
Yvonne, what a striking contrast four photo mounts, title and sweet pea blossom outline of black give a mighty regal pose to JM's birthday celebration card! I, too, will have to comment on your ability with punch borders. How regal! Those pearls add soft elegance framing country sky blue calm solidly through the center. Did you have a wide piece of white to showcase each side's border paperlace to strengthen the folded base card's sweet pea foundation?
If so, how wide?
Keep Looking UP!
