sending birthday wishes

I haven't been using my Copics very much lately and was in the mood to color today.  And I haven't used this vase set in a while either!  I started out by stamping the flower image onto white cardstock and colored it.  I used the colors in the flowers to pick out the cardstock I wanted to use.

I took a piece of Spring Moss cardstock and ran it through the Cuttlebug using my Swiss Dots embossing folder.  Next, I cut out the scalloped circle in the Spring Moss and placed it on a layer of Summer Sunrise cardstock and cut a standard circle in the middle of the Summer Sunrise.  I placed the flower image centered behind the Summer Sunrise circle.  Make sense?

I thought why not, so I also die-cut where the sentiment is, using a tag trio die to cut the shape.  I stamped the sentiment and adhered the layering to the white card base.  Final steps were tying Marigold twine around the bottom and adding a little bit of glitter to the flowers.  I really like the colors in the flowers and vase!
