I’ve always loved florals & foliage.  So, I chose the Floral #4 stamp for the main image of my card.  Tex’s Tip: After stamping it once in the center, I huffed on it to add moisture to the rubber, and stamped to the left and again to the right of the central image.  Florals & foliage stamps work particularly well with this technique, as it adds a feeling of depth.   The sentiment is from the new Happy Birthday Set Small.  There are several different fonts in a variety of small sizes to express Happy Birthday in this fun set.

My Word Search word is PLANT!

Your next stop along the Garden Hop will be to visit the uber-talented Charlene Driggs!
