This is a cute fast Birthday Card , I had a fantastic time making this.

First cut your desired card stock piece from the Raindrops and roses pad of paper. Choose one that measures 6"x 6". Then cut your Lt purple card stock piece 7"x 6". Score the 7" pieces 1" then fold and glue to your Raindrops piece. Next cut the Birthday Blessings from your pad of paper use foam squares to attach to the bottom right corner of card.  Using your white card stock and your Layered Elegant Swirl Die Cut the 4.25" x 2" Lacey piece. You will need to cut it down to fit at the top right corner of your card. With the Light purple card stock I cut 1 Heart from the Timeless Amour Die Set. Using your white card stock and black ink stamp the Bella Rose. Next Stamp with black ink on the light green card stock several leaves, also stamp the rose on the med green card stock, Using your Die cutting machine cut 1 Swirl green leaves and the stamped roses and leaves. Glue down the white piece in the right hand top corner at an angle, then glue the Lt Purple lace heart down, Using Foam squares raise the center heart up. Punch 1 Lacey heart from the Martha Stewart Punch and glue in the center of the heart. The fun part begins, using your Qtip or dove blender pen color the petals of all Roses with your Candy and Rose Bud ink. Cut the top of rose and glue on the green rose cut. Before I purchased the dove blender pens all I had was a Qtip, it still colors well if you are on a budget. Now you can use your flower shaping tool to curl the petals and leaves to the desired shape on your mat. Glue all leaves and Roses down as shown in the Photo. Last I added the jewel hearts as shown and the Lt purple glitter glue around the heart and the white as an accent to the roses.

Done what a great job. Join me again for fun making in Lori's craft room.

Tips. Also if you get a little messy with the permanent ink as I do you could wear a latex glove to avoid getting ink on your hands. Also when die cutting decorative pieces if you use 2 extra pieces of card stock as a shim it cuts better.
