Watercolor Gerbera Daisy Birthday Card

Another daisy card (sorry!). This one was stamped (with some masking), embossed and watercolored. I dropped it at the Post Office on Thursday, 90% sure it would not make it to the recipient in time for her birthday. I hope the card itself makes up for late delivery!  😉
