Simply make

1 Use the layering stamps to

stamp out three blooms on

a piece of white cardstock,

using the darker inks to add

in the shadows and details.

Cut using the co-ordinating

dies and set aside.

2 Die-cut a circle from a piece

of acetate or a masking

sheet to create a stencil

aperture. Ink through the

aperture onto the card

front using the Distress Ink,

blending so that the colour

is lighter towards the centre

of the circle.

3 Arrange the blooms around

the circle to achieve the

desired layout and use that

as a guide for stamping out

the leaves and foliage from

the set in grey ink.

4 Layer the  owers up using

3D foam pads for a touch

of extra dimension, then

stamp the ‘Happy Birthday’

sentiment overlapping the

inked circle to  nish.
