Happy Birthday Birdie
I saw a lovely card on Pinterest created by the talented Jan B using the now retired Petal Palette stamp set and co-ordinating Petals & More Dies. I loved the layout and decided to re-create it using the Free As A Bird stamp set. I cut a circle from a piece of Whisper White card and attached a panel behind it which I embossed using the Lace 3D Embossing Folder. I added dimensionals between these two layers. The whole piece is attached to scored and folded Thick Whisper White card using dimensionals where necessary. I stamped the leaves, flowers and bird from the Free As A Bird stamp set onto scrap Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 
I coloured them using the Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends. I used the colour lifter on the bird, to lighten some of my colouring and the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend to colour the beak on the bird. 
I stamped “happy birthday” from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set onto scrap Whisper White card using Poppy Parade ink and used the Classic Label Punch to punch it out. I arranged the stamped images around the circle using mini dimensionals where necessary. I also added Basic Rhinestones to the centre of the flowers.
I kept the inside of the card very simple. I stamped one leaf and one large single flower onto scrap Whisper Whtie card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the images using the Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I attached the leaf and the flower to the top right hand corner of the inside of the card.
This is such a pretty card, so thank you, JanB, for the inspiration.
Bye for now,
Kris
