Happy Birthday

 I hope everyone is keeping safe and well.  We've just come in from clapping again for the NHS at 8pm with many other neighbours in our area.  It's good to hear that our Prime Minister is now out of intensive care.

I made this card for a friend who was celebrating her birthday today.   She lives about a mile and a half away, so I dropped it through her door on the daily walk we're allowed.  I'm not sure if the card fold has a name, but I made this card after watching an online tutorial by Lisa Shaw.
The patterned paper is from the Lili of the Valley 'Bonnets and Bowties' paper pad.  I used a Couture Creations 'Fireflies' embossing folder.  The flowers are Sue Wilson 'Pinwheel Floral' die cuts.  The sentiment is raised up on foam pads.
