Happy Birthday to You

I made this quick card for a friend's birthday.  I'm entering the Allsorts 'Happy Birthday challenge (to celebrate Allsorts 10th  birthday), Crafty Cardmakers 'Birthdays' challenge and Tales from the Craft Room 'Floral Frenzy' challenge.


Docrafts 'Full Bloom' Card Kit (cover gift with Crafts Beautiful magazine)
Hobby Art 'General Greetings' stamp
My Favourite Things 'Fishtail Flags' die
Versafine Onyx Black ink

I trimmed the pink card blank from the kit to make a 6" x 6" card.  I covered the front with the floral card leaving a small border around the edge.  I stamped the sentiment onto the offcut of pink card before die cutting and embossing the fishtail flag. To finish I attached the sentiment to the lower corner of the card with foam tape.

The black background of the dp gives great contrast to the pink base card, and love the matching black on pink banner sentiment to finish Kath. A great card. x
