Beautiful Birthday Greetings

Tonight I just had to get into my studio and get inky! My new friend and Sizzix die artist, Eileen Hull blessed me last week and sent me a new die by Beth Reames called Flowers, 3-D!

I don’t really ever use it and was laughing that someone would pay for some peeled cardboard!!
