Mega Thanks/Sunrays

My neighbor/friend just brought over a beautiful, cone-shaped, twig basket of flowers to hang on my fence. Today is not my birthday, but it is very soon. Her gift made me light up like these sun rays.

This is my first time to try this wonderful tutorial from Geri's Cards for the sun rays and it was so much fun. There is a good bit of sponging. I like it and hope you do, too. I  added my 'hot sun' with a piece of SU Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut with a circle nestabilitie.
The rest of the card was really simple.

I got inspiration from EtsyInspired challenge:EIC140- We are to choose our inspiration from an Etsy shop called Peaden Scott Designs (check out that awesome pop-up cards). Wow!
This is the card I was inspired by:

How beautiful is this! I didn't do any cut-outs but did a huge 'thanks' sentiment and what I think is the sun above her thanks.

There is a new challenge called Craft Room and it is Anything Goes so here I go on their #1

Papertake Weekly Challenge is also Anything Goes this week.

I'll be entering my card into the Splitcoast Dirty Dozen theme challenge, also. The theme is It's a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong.
