Happy Birthday Suzy!


Happy Monday and Happy Birthday to Suzy!
You should have arrived here via Janis' blog, if not you will want to go back to Justine's blog for the list so you don't get lost. I hope you have been enjoying the hop.
When asked if I wanted to participate in this birthday bloghop for Suzy I couldn't say no. I loved being on her design team and I got to meet her in real life at Creativation (CHA) and she is just as fun and awesome. 
For my birthday card, I used one of my favorite stamps from So Suzy, Blowing Butterfly Tree. I started with a white to folding card base and some distress inks, and the Quilted Stitched Spirals cover plate from Lil' Inker Designs and of course the MISTI


To make the background I ran the front panel through the bigshot using the Quilted Stitched Spirals and then blended Peacock Feathers and Tumbled glass for the sky and Twisted Citron for the grass. Using the MISTI I double stamped the Blowing Butterfly Tree twice to get a dark image and colored some of the butterflies with Copic markers. To finish the card I used the Happy Birthday stamp also from So Suzy.
What would a birthday bloghop be without presents right? so there are prizes involved to those of yu who comment on everyone's blog. 

here they are
$20 So Suzy Gift Certificate from Justinehovery.com
Bunkie Bag from Simply Charming Everyday
and 
Original Misti from My Sweet Petunia

You're almost done with the hop, your next stop is my sweet friend, the ever so talented Lydia Fiedler. Be sure to leave comments so you will have a chance to win these amazing prizes 
 

Suzanne I hope your birthday is as amazing and fun as you are! 
Happy Birthday
