I was trying to find inspiration for a birthday card for a dear friend living in Texas. But inspiration was proving stubbon these days. So, I started throwing a few random things together. And voila... there appeared by buzzing birthday wishes. I liked how it appeared tan, dry and semi-wild... my impression of Texas. :)

The base cardstock is from the 'White Out' collection - 'Explore Rucksack' (by We R Memory Keepers - WRMK). Then on goes my 'Flower Patch' glitter lace (by WRMK as well). The lace required tremendous effort, as they were relatively flimsy and sticky throughout. But, managed it at the end.. phew!! Next, bare raffia (by Papermania) was tied around with a massive ribbon. And on top of this lied the birthday sentiment, which was stamped using 'Everyday Button Bits' by Papertrey Ink with Memento inks (Rich Cocoa, Bamboo Leaves and Cottage Ivy). The finishing touches included green and yellow gemstones (by Anita's) and last but not least, my embossed bumble bee (from WRMK 'Twirl' collection). Tada... :)

It worked out quite well, I would say.. Happy birthday, missy! Now to get it there on time.. Haha!
