Little florist Birthday card

Hello and a big warm welcome to my little blog, special love to all my followers that check out my cards too.

I went crazy yesterday and made 6 cards!! I had already coloured the images previously which helped me to create so many. They are all so different with different papers etc so you can just imagine my craft space now lol!! 

I have had this little girl from Wee Stamps coloured for ages and had been waiting for the right inspiration. I sat her on this paper from Bo Bunny and thought it was perfect! The beautiful mango pearl flourish, leaves and bling-centred flower are all from Flourish with a Bling.
