Happy Birthday Card by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny today with my very first post for Cheery Lynn Designs and I'm so excited to be here! 

I tend to use many of the same colors so I thought I'd try something a bit different and use yellows and oranges.  I began with the background by cutting the Princess Window from white card stock and gluing a slightly smaller piece of patterned paper to the back.  The window was then adhered with foam adhesive to a another piece of patterned paper cut with the largest Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frame which was backed by a gray 5.5" square card.

The orange Large Roses and yellow Cuties 3 flowers were colored with glimmer mist and distress ink, shaped with paper shaping tools and glued with score tape to the Princess Frame.  I tucked leaves and flowers from the Flourish Leaf Strip and Dandelions into the arrangement and added the distress ink colored mushrooms underneath.

I cut the Small Exotic Butterfly 2 with blue patterned paper and darkened the edges with distress ink.  Happy Birthday was glued to the top of the Sentiment Tag 2 which was then popped up with foam adhesive.
