Seize the Birthday - Soft and Simple

This time at Seize the Birthday our topping is Soft and Simple.  Of course, it's always "Anything Goes" if you don't want to do the topping as long as it's for a birthday.  Here is how I was inspired.

 I simply used a few dies and white and blue card stock along with some design paper.  The flowers are stamped on water color paper and then I added some water color to the blossoms and the leaves.
Here is what I used:
Strathmore water color paper
Altenew stamp Golden Garden
Spellbinders A2 curved borders One
Gina K Designs Ocean Blue card stock, design paper,  ink and matching envelope
                                   

Please visit the Seize the Birthday blog to see the beautiful cards the rest of the team and our Surprise Party Guest, Monika, have made this week.  I hope you will come and play along with us.
                                     

Thanks so much for your comments.  I really appreciate them.
