Now on to my Birthday Card:)
Here is my card closed:

Now here it is open

This was my first time ever Easel card! Learning the fold was easy but trying to figure out what to do with it after that was the challenge.  I started with a pale orange shimmer cardstock from A Muse Studio. Then added the lily cardstock to the base.

I added the birthday die cut then used the Happy sliders and added them to the deep red thin ribbon.

On top I used 2 Prima Butterfly drops. The ribbon I had on hand. I tied the bow using the 3 girl jam bow maker! I love that thing.

The flowers I made with McGill punches Ink and stickles. I then added the Dream Tag and the clear flourish to the back.
Here is a link to the tutorial on how to make the lillies! Shelley Toney has great tutorials

So that is my project in a nut shell. Thank-you for stopping by.

I love comments and New followers:) If you are a new follower please leave your blog link in your comment also so I can follow you in return!
