This year's theme for the blog hop is gardening. I chose the daisy to highlight on my card.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment on all the blogs for a chance to win!
We were supposed to make a card showing off a flower for this Blog Hop. My card I made is below.
I used plain hunter green card stock and a Martha Stewart border punch along the edges. On the corners I just cut them off, curve to curve. The daisy's are from my stash...you can use petalloo's or even dollar store flowers. I put stickles for the centers and added flower soft on the wet stickles. I used Liquid pearls to write Happy Birthday. I accented with some flat back pearls along the edge.

Leave a comment for a chance to win prizes.
