Birthday - Belated

I made this card for my niece who celebrated her birthday in September. I am way behind but I had a nice low key weekend and have found renewed energy. 

I chose a deep warm green card.  I added a layer of this versatile designer paper leaving a small border.

I cut the greeting from heavy white card stock with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday thinlit.  I colored it with gold paint.  When it was dry I adhered it to the card front toward the bottom edge. 

I made holes above the greeting and inserted red seaming binding in a innie outie bow.  I added 2 gold star brads in the holes beside the ribbon.
