The decoupage image and papers are from Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew Collection Part 2, I find I often use this CD to make cards for the older members of my family - particularly the males. I printed extra flowers and cut them out to embellish - I ended up mounting them onto black card stock to make them stand out as they blended into the background otherwise.
You can see the layers of decoupage a little better in this photograph, as the card will be hand delivered I was able to go to town and really layer it up.
I have used a slightly textured black card stock for my base and layers and also for the die cut elements. The corners and the base for the sentiment were cut using my Spellbinders Lattice Accents and Lattice Motifs, the sentiment itself uses two stamps - the Happy Birthday is from Flonzcraft (I won these over at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge) and the Mother is LOTV.
