If you're in the USA, Happy Tax Day! Honestly, it's not normally a happy day for me. How about you? My husband and I are married with no kids, so we don't get many tax breaks, thus we normally owe Uncle Sam a good chunk of change. This year, God blessed us with the biggest federal refund we've ever had! Now, it's not like $5000.00 like those of you with a bunch of kids, but it's a lot to us and it was certainly a blessing. So, tax day is a happy day this year!
On to the card...
Here's a super simple pocket card I made a few weeks ago. I really like this style of card and it's great if you're not mailing it, since it doesn't have an envelope!
I really like this gingham-ish paper on the flower. It's from a stack called "All the Small Things" and it's a very eclectic mix of patterns.
Here's the simple card that goes on the inside. I am saving this card for my "no-frills" friend at work. Her birthday is coming up and she doesn't like pink, girlie, sparkly things, so I think this fits her perfectly!
Card Base - 9.75" x 5.50", scored at 4.50"
Mat (front) - 5.25" x 4.25"
Leaves - Flower Shoppe, cut at 1"
Flower - Flower Shoppe, cut at 2.75", 2.25", 1.75"
Inside Card - 4.25" x 5" and 4" x 4.75"
Have a great Monday!!

So happy to hear you got a tax break this year. : ) We normally end up paying State but this year we got a refund. Thankful for that. -- Your card is lovely. I love your flowers and that's such a cool style of card.
