HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 Good morning, and welcome to another card I've made.  This time it was for an order.  My client, Jenny, who buys a lot of cards from me, has a friend from her school days who was turning 70 years, young.  I think Jenny is a wee bit younger.

She said she wanted a card with flowers, and it had to be in all shades of blue as it's her friend's favourite colours. 

I'm so pleased with the final card, as I've used very feminine colours in the past but never in blue.

Here's a quick peek at the inside of the card.
