Easy Peasy Birthday Card

I know that I am always making detailed projects, but today I wanted to show you how with just a couple of cuts with your Cheery Lynn Designs dies, you can make a quick and elegant card.
The new release of dies has several sentiment dies, including this Happy Birthday. The script is so lovely, it just seemed like it would be too much to add a ton of embellishments. I used the Japanese Garden Lace Oval (which now comes with an Angel Wing) to frame the sentiment, and just finished the card off with a large bow.
This week's theme at the challenge blog is to use doilies (and of course CLD has the most gorgeous doily dies ever!) So, get to crafting, so you might win a $20 gift certificate.
