happy birthday

I have played along with a couple of challenges using stamps from simon says stamp and reverse confetti. I have used the polka dotted stamp from this month simon says stamp card kit, birthday flowers. I luv using polka dots and have created a heart with the polka dotted stamp on top of the watercolor splash. I used WOW white embossing powder, very sweet! The birthday sentiment is from the reverse confetti set, with love. Add a little glimmer to your life, sparkle & shine, kindness!
