Happy Birthday

Another birthday card using more bits 'n' bobs from my box - a card blank that I had already covered with turquoise paper, a LOTV image that was already die cut into a stitched oval and 'happy' that had already been stamped and die cut.

I die cut an oval in the front of the card blank the same size as the LOTV image.  I placed the card in my MISTI and positioned 'happy' over the die cut oval so I could see where to stamp 'birthday'.  As the 'birthday' was part of a complete Happy Birthday sentiment stamp, I attached some washi tape onto the card front to mask the part I didn't want to stamp.  I then stamped and embossed 'birthday'.  I attached a piece of white card inside the front of the card blank and then inlaid the LOTV image.  To finish I attached 'happy' with foam pads.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Lili of the Valley Art Pad (I'm not sure of the name - possibly Toddlers or Babies)
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Oval STAX Die-namics' die
     Clearly Besotted 'Modern Calligraphy' stamp and die
     Clearly Besotted 'Fancy Sayings' stamp
     Versafine Smoky Gray ink
     Stampendous clear embossing powder
     Lili of the Valley 'Beach Bliss' paper
     White card
