Happy Birthday - The Shabby Tea Room Challenge

Hello!  A quick post this afternoon with a birthday card.  It's been quite while since I've had a chance to play along in one of the challenges at The Shabby Tea Room.  They always have beautiful inspiration photos.  Take a look at this weeks photo for The Shabby Tea Room week #116 "Color Me Pretty".

Ahh...can't you almost feel the breeze and smell the fragrance of those flowers?  Let's sit for a while!

Oh.  Sorry.  I got sidetracked, didn't I?  The instructions for the challenge are to use white/cream, pink and blue...plus flowers and fabric.

This is what I created.

I chose 3 patterned papers from My Mind's Eye, from 3 different pads, and stitched them onto a panel of Pool Party card stock.  I used some cream colored felt for my die cut flower.  Then added a sentiment, a stamped postmark and a little tag, stamped with a few more words.  The crochet trim and all of the buttons are vintage (from an estate auction).  Oh, and I placed a piece of pink tulle behind the flower.
It's been a while since I've created a vintage style card and I love making them, so this was fun!
Thanks so much for stopping in to take a look!  I'll list my supplies below.
