Happy Birthday

I don't seem to use very much pattern paper and I have sooo much of it! 

I started with a white cardstock card base and added a layer of green plaid paper.  I die-cut the spiral notebook page in white cardstock and placed it on top.

Next, I die-cut the stitched stars in Hawaiian Shores, Spring Moss and white, placing the largest star on thin foam tape for a little dimension. 

The birthday was die-cut in a piece of paper that I used a watercolor technique on, but wasn't happy with the way it turned out.  I saved it thinking I might be able to use it for something later, and die-cutting a word was perfect.  It sort of has an ombre look to it.  I stamped "happy" above it in black ink to finish the card.
