Birthday Wishes

I've had a chance to just play this week; it doesn't happen very often!  And since I need a birthday card for a family member; this is the result:

 I die cut and embossed the circle frame from a scrap of rather ugly yellow card stock and then covered it with Copper Metallic Gilding polish; now it looks like a cool metal embellishment.  I stamped and fussy cut this gorgeous flower and leaves  combo.  While I was trying to add glitter to the center with some stickles, I had a bit of an accident, so I had to stamp it again and cut out just the top layer.  That way it adds some dimension as well.  The ribbon was in my bits and pieces stash and was just the right length.  I die cut the "happy" sentiment, stamped "birthday" and finished everything off with some clear sequins and some glitter.  Simple, sparkly, and beautiful!

Supplies:
Stamps: Altenew "Beautiful Day" flower and leaves; Verve "Surely Goodness" birthday
Dies: Spellbinders circle (can't remember the name of the set right now); MFT "happy trio"
Inks: Distress Oxides "Peacock Feathers", "Denim", "Chipped Sapphire" and "Soot"
