Happy Birthday

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by cutting the Ric Rac Ribbon Background twice out of white card.  I offset them to create a slightly different pattern to the background, then added a piece of raspberry card behind to show through.  Using the Double Stitched Circles, I cut a wide white frame and added it with mounting foam over the background.  I cut away the excess background around the circular frame.  I used the Scalloped Squares and cut two sizes to use as mats behind the circular frame.  I cut the Noble Happy Birthday sentiment out of both raspberry card and black card.  I shadowed the sentiment and glued it inside the frame.  Using the Cosmos Flowers, I cut enough of them to make three flowers.  I inked the centres of the flowers with Picked Raspberry ink, then spritzed them with water.  I scrunched the flowers, then allowed them to dry before assembling them.  I added two flowers to the upper part of the frame and the other one in the opposite corner.  I used the foliage from the Pinwheel Floral set cut in white as accents for the flowers.  The card was completed with white, raspberry and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
