I thought I might as well go for the Irish Holiday coming up with the GREEN theme!! The new lil Sweeties Tristin & Elizabeth were such a 'sweet' choice for this card!! They are stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink onto White Cryogen paper.  They are colored with Copics . I wanted to add an Irish touch to Elizabeth so I stamped the Shamrock Trio  with Shades Kilkenny Green Dye Ink  and I fussy cut the largest Shamrock and placed on her jumper.  I die cut the lil Sweeties and the bottom layer with Cheery Lynn's Silver Stackers Circle .  Using Cheery Lynn's Stitcher Plate Circle a textured background for both the Sweeties and Greeting were embossed. 

The greeting and its bottom layer were die cut with Little Stackers Circle Dies .
 The twine, button and DP are from my stash.  The finished size of the card is 4.50" x 6.25".

 Sweet Stamps lovely Summer Daisy is the stamped image of my card.  I love daisies and love summer so it is perfect!!! Summer Daisy is stamped with Tuxedo Black Momento Ink and colored with Copics  on White Cryogen Paper.  I die cut the image and its background with Cheery Lynn's Little Stackers Coved Rectangle . The sentiment, Nice Daisy is stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink also.  Embossing Folder Daisy & Swirls pairs nicely with Summer Daisy.  The Daisy Strip, Build A Flower #1, and Build A Flower #2  created the die cut daisies.  I die cut the daisies from white cardstock twice and inked them with Forget Me Not Shades Dye Ink .  I have a close up of the flowers to show how beautiful they are:

The Design Team had to use one of the new 2013 ATC Florals. I want to encourage you to take a look at these florals as they are quite beautiful.  I chose Stylish Tulips Silhouette and stamped them in Valentine Shades Dye Ink .  The layers are die cut with Cheery Lynn's Card Makers Rectangle A2  and Card Makers Scallop Rectangle A2.  The greeting, Tiny Happy Birthday was stamped with Tuxedo Black Momento Ink . I decided to use my Score It to emboss a frame around the card base.  The lined are embossed at 1/4".  This is so 'Simple' and I haven't used this technique in forever!! The Dew Drops are from my stash. The adhesive I used is Great Tape.  The finished size of the card is  4.25 x 5.50".
