Layered Star Flowers Happy Birthday
by Anne Thompson

I have two more birthday cards today that use the Layered Star Flowers 94612 with the Happy Birthday Posh Script 94588.  

Card One

materials used

• red notecard
• printed papers from GARDEN FOLLY PP1005 and GARLAND PP1010
• LAYERED STAR FLOWERS 94612
• HAPPY BIRTHDAY POSH SCRIPT 94588
• tiny white pearls

to make this card

• trim one of the printed papers 4 X 51/4 and add to the front of a red notecard
• die cut the Layered Star Flowers blossoms from a flowered Garland paper and the leaves from the red leafy paper in the Garden Folly paper pad
• assemble the flower and leaves clusters using glue or glue dots; add tiny white pearls to the flower centers; and attach three sets to the front of the notecard
• die cut the Happy Birthday Posh Script from the same printed papers; use a glue pen to layer the detailed script on top of the background; add to the notecard 
  
• add another flower/leaves set to the inside of the notecard with a scrap of the flowered paper

Card Two

materials used

• white notecard
• blue papers from MADRAS PLAID BLUE AND VIOLET PP1014 (I also used a blue/pale green stripe from GARDEN FOLLY PP1005 for the background on this card.)
• two shades of blue papers from VINTAGE PASTEL MIRROR PAD FP1002
• turquoise gems from CHRISTMAS FAIRY JEWELS JWL005
• LAYERED STAR FLOWERS 94612
• HAPPY BIRTHDAY POSH SCRIPT 94588

to make this card

• trim a plaid or printed paper 4 X 5 1/4 and add to the front of a white notecard, fold on the top edge
• die cut and assemble the Layered Star Flowers using one of the plaid papers and two complementary shades of the blues metallic/pearl papers from the Vintage Pastel Mirror pad; attach three sets to the front of the notecard and one on the inside; add turquoise gems to the flower centers
• die cut the Happy Birthday Posh Script from the same papers; use a glue pen to layer the detailed script on top of the background; add to the notecard 
  
• add three more gems to the left of the sentiment and one more to dot the "i"

I love these little flowers.  You can see in the photo above that I made more from the Mirror pad papers that I will use on another project.  I've got lots of ideas percolating.  They will look sweet on Easter cards.
