Happy Birthday

Hello crafters!  I cut the new Ric Rac Ribbon Background out of  Iris card and backed it with black card.  I used the Double Stitched Squares and made a multi-layered frame using white card for the wider frame and I cut the thinner frame out of the purple striped paper from the Dots 'n Stripes Paper Pad.  I added the frame with mounting foam over the background.  I cut the Noble Happy Birthday out of both white and black and shadowed it then glued it into the frame.  I cut the Cosmos Flowers out of the purple dotty paper and added a black outline around them.  I seated the flowers on the lower edge of the frame and added white foliage cut from the Pinwheel Floral die set as accents.  I added two small butterflies in the upper corner from the Butterfly Delights die set.  The card was completed with white, black and iris card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    I was very impressed with this background die on launch, so I’m saving the pennies! Cutting the flowers out of black really makes them pop. Thank you sue.
