I used the new Summer Picnic patterned paper for the color inspiration for the card. I stamped the large "celebrate" sentiment from Celebrate Everything first, then used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the smaller "time to" image exactly where I wanted it. This is such a helpful tool!The image in the bottom right corner is from the So Many Scallops set. I used just the center of the image here. I inked it with markers and punched out the stamped image with a 1 1/4" circle punch. I punched through the cardfront and patterned paper with a 1 3/8" circle punch, then attached the happy birthday image to the inside of the card with a dimensional. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added some Dazzling Diamonds to the candle flames. To draw attention to the image, I used the scalloped punch to create a round frame for the image.
