Birthday Wishes

Hello bloggers!  I started this pretty cover plate card by cutting the Wild Rose Cover Plate with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the white card to colour all the leaves.  I then glued the black die cut on top.  I cut the die again using a piece of arctic blue card.  I used the fall away pieces from the flowers so I could paper piece them back into the die cu.  However, before paper piecing any of the pieces, I used a smoothie with Tumbled Glass ink and I inked the inside edge of the flower petals then paper pieced them back into place.  I matted it with white card.  I cut another piece of white card and used a scoring tool to score small lines into it, then I added it to a larger piece of arctic blue card.  I glued a thin black strip between the join area and added the focal element with mounting foam.  I cut the Birthday Wishes sentiment in black and glued it to a white shadow backing piece and added it below the flowers.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.
