Happy Birthday To You

 Hello there my crafty friends!  Here's a birthday card for my fellow June born out there.  I really like this one as it shows off the different ways you can use the Hobnail Vase.  I selected a piece of coconut white card and stamped my sentiment in black in the upper corner.  It is from one of Phil Martins stamps sets, it is big and bold and really makes a statement.  Next I cut the Hobnail Vase a couple of times out of white card.  It is supposed to look like milk glass, but you can do it in any colour you like.  I cut the vase to look like it was in three different configurations, one full size, the one half size and one very small one in more of a pot size than a vase.  I filled the large vase with the Lily of the Valley flowers, cut in green as the base, then I cut them again in white and just glued the flowers over the top of the base and arranged them in the vase.  I used the Spring Daffodil die for the middle vase and used the 3D trumpets on them.  On the small pot in front I arranged the leaves from the Sweet William die to look like a houseplant.  I staggered the vases with mounting foam for dimension.  One and custard card mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
