It's Chari's birthday today! Woohooo! We are having a fun surprise birthday blog hop for her! You should have come from Joy's blog, and you can start the hop at Danielle's blog.
Chari, I hope you have the most magical day today. You are such a wonderful, kind and sweet person. I am so blessed to be able to call you my friend. Happy birthday!

This little card is much shinier in person! (Shiny is hard to photograph!) I watercolored the lanterns and the blue and pink pieces of card stock, too. The gold card stock piece was colored with the same ink I stamped the sentiment in! I wanted the edges of all of the card stock pieces to curl forward so I put adhesive down more towards the center. It is a fun look!
Head on over to Lynnette's blog next! :)
