So happy you are checking out our April Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! Each demonstrator has created projects using items retiring the end of this month! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers. Here’s a little preview of my card:

My card features the retiring Two Tone Flora Dies (#159181) along with the retired Two Tone Flora stamp set. The card base is Smokey Slate with a layer of Basic White die cut with the large background die. The flowers and leaves were stamped in Soft Seafood, Bubble Bath, Melon Mambo, Pool Party and Coastal Cabana with a bow of Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon (#162149) accenting the sentiment. Happy Birthday from the retired Pansy Patch was stamped in Smokey Slate on Basic White and backed in Smokey Slate using the retiring Double Oval Punch (#154242).

Thanks for stopping by this month. Go to –> Shirley Merker’s blog to see what she created this month.
