Birthday Card ~ For Mom

Wow this summer just flew by.

I've been working 11 hour days so by the time 

I get home I'm too tired to do much of anything.
I had a little energy {and time} to craft so happily
I have a birthday card to share.
I used Miss Emma's sketch from over at My Creative Time for inspiration.
I just flipped it upside down.
I added pink Wink of Stella over my large Copic colored flower.

OMGoodness I can't believe it is July 8th already.

I had plans to reorganize my craft space.

But guess what I caught a summer cold.
