Happy Birthday and Bees

 Morning and my second DT post today is for the Birthday challenge at Dragonfly Dreams.Welcome to our two GDT Jan R and Lynda(Loopyloo)

I used a sketch using a tutorial I saw at Beccys Place.

The P.papers are from The Paper Boutique,black enamel dots and little Bee from stash.The Steampunky  flowers are from a platic bag full of loose stamps so your guess is as good as mine! I stamped them,cut the petals and layered after colouring with a light grey promarker,the Happy Birthday is from Stampin Up,I drew the line around the card with a fineliner pen and ruler.
