Last weeks Newsletter had a wonderful tutorial for a Bordered Sentiment. I had a little bit of extra time to-day so thought I would give it a try. I used SU French Foliage for the leaves (I love this set) stamped with Kaleidacolour spectrum pad from SU and a $1.50 stamp from Mikes for the accent swirls. The sentiment is called Joyful Birthday from Close to my heart. I have lots of masculine birthdays in Sept and Oct so if I change the sentiment to a less fancy font this one just might fit the bill. I also found that I liked using a thicker sharpie to outline the sentiment to give it a more layered look.

Oh, this is GLORIOUS, Sue. Love your autumn bouquet and how you did it. It would work for either sex equally well. You have a wonderful sense of design.
