Birthday Bouquet and insomnia !

Hi and a very early good morning to you, as is common I couldn't sleep again which is bit frustrating as I'm the early start at work again today and should not be awake; but I am so being productive. This is a birthday card finished recently for a friend... as it felt like I had been making christmas cards forever I went all out girly and used pink and yellow; which isn't a usual colour combo for me but did mean I created a bright and cheerful card... I also made a box but forgot to photograph it! The stamp is LOTV... I would gladly have all there stamps as they are so sweet and did see on website and recent blogs that they have a fab new range which I'm itching to get my hands on some as they are so cute... I love all their stamps but post Christmas no pennies to spare! You might notice I used a fine liner to put her name on the bouquet gift tag which was tricky as its quiet small-I'm pleased with that. It was well received and enjoyable to make so everyone was happy.
