Happy Birthday to You

I needed a  card for a forthcoming male birthday, so have used some snippets and one of my favourite Lawn Fawn dies.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Lawn Fawn 'Giant Happy Birthday to You' die
     Snippets of silver mirri card and turquoise card

I trimmed the snippet of turquoise card to a square and die cut the sentiment from the centre.  The panel was then attached to a slightly larger square of silver mirri card and attached to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the sentiment twice from more snippets of silver mirri and inlaid them to the front of the card blank, together with the small pieces of the turquoise die cut.  To finish I attached the turquoise sentiment, offsetting it slightly to create a silver shadow.

I am entering the following challenges:
     AAA Birthday Card Challenge - Masculine
     A Cut Above - Anything Goes with a Die Cut
     Cut It Up - Happy Birthday
     Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes
