Happy Birthday

I think this pattern paper is so pretty so I didn't want to cover up too much of it.

I used Raspberry Fizz cardstock for the card base, cutting the bottom with Card Edgers and did the same to the pattern paper.  Using the Boutique Borders Sympathy die, I cut one in Vintage Cream cardstock another one in Raspberry Fizz.

The sentiment is stamped on the cream in grey ink with a pink ink background.  I cut the Raspberry Fizz cardstock in half and placed it behind the cream to give it a layered look.  This is such an easy thing to do and produces a nice effect.

I placed the sentiment on foam tape for dimension.  I tied a pink ribbon around the bottom and added a couple of gems above and below the sentiment.
