Happy Birthday to You

I made this birthday card with more oddments from my 'I'll use it one day' drawer.  This one uses four dark brown die cut birthday sentiments, cut for a project a few months ago and not used. 

To make this card I used:
     7" x 7" white matt card blank
     Lawn Fawn 'Giant Happy Birthday to You' die
     Craft O'Clock 'Plum in Chocolate' paper
     Dark brown matt card

This paper is a lovely 250g weight, so it didn't need to be attached to card to strengthen it.  I trimmed a sliver from each side of a piece of patterned paper so it wouldn't catch on the sides of my Cuttlebug and then die cut the sentiment from the centre.   I set the sentiment and small pieces aside and attached the panel to the centre of the card blank.  I inlaid one of the brown die cut sentiments into the front of the card, together with the small pieces from the patterned paper.  The remaining three brown sentiments were layered with the patterned sentiment on top.  This was than attached to the front of the card.
