Happy Birthday Background with Balloons and Big Birthday

I recently purchased some patterned paper from Honey Bee Stamps and decided to make some masculine cards using the color scheme from the paper.

I cut a panel of "happy birthday" patterned paper with a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to a top folding A2 cardbase with low loft foam tape.

For this card I decided to use the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Bash stamp and die. I stamped the large "birthday" on some cardstock and then did some on the edge die cutting. The word was colored with Copic Markers and foam tape was added to the back. The balloons were stamped, colored, and die cut and adhered to the patterned paper panel with foam tape and liquid glue. The die cut "Birthday" word was then adhered in place by removing the backing paper on the foam tape.

The secondary greeting was stamped underneath the last two letters of the word birthday with black ink.
