I'm sharing the card I made for her ... hopefully it arrived in time!
This is from a stamp, die, stencil and embossing folder set that Dolly gifted to me when she came for a visit in May. This is such a beautiful set and I had so much fun making this card for her. I used teal for the main flowers on the card, which I believe is one of her favourite colours. The stamp/stencil set made this a quick and easy card, even though it looks complicated. :) I added my own shading rather than using the stencil, because I like to control the blending of the colours. And I used the fabulous sentiment from the set too. :) I finished by adding a few dots and dashes of white with a posca paint pen.

Thank you, sweet Lolly! Yes, your card arrived in time and I have to tell you that it is even more spectacular in person! The teal with that yellow just knocked my socks off and your shading really gives the flowers depth and life! Thank you for linking to the I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and making me a special birthday post!

Love that sentiment! And I love your colours and shading and details on the flowers - I'm sure it came out better with you controlling the shading rather than relying on the stencils!
