On Friday, I received this beautiful birthday card in the mail from my sister in law Jennifer. Jennifer is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in Washington State and she is an incredibly gifted crafter!

I love her use of the Fluttering butterfly embossing folder and how it provided and interesting and beautiful textured background to this card. I also love how Jennifer sponged the edges of the leaves, that little bit of shading really makes these beautiful monstera leaves pop!

Jennifer knows that pink and black is one of my favorite color combinations and she also knows that I love the Botanical Blooms stamp set so I appreciate her taking the time to add those special elements to this card.

I know Jennifer was concerned about her card being late but actually the day it arrived I also was having a belated Movie Night In to celebrate my birthday with my friends so the timing couldn't have been more perfect.

Thank you Jennifer for your very creative birthday card. I so appreciate your love and thoughtfulness to think of me by making such a special personalized creation. Belated or not, it was certainly a very special blessing!!!
