Birthday Stars and Circles

     My brother's birthday was in the middle of May, and since I had the  
Circle Cover Plate sitting on my desk, I thought I would CASE one of my own cards (here)  for his birthday card. I used 7 different patterns and colours for the stamped circles.

* The 'circles' were cut from white card stock, stamped with various colours and patterns and then inserted into the blue frame. 
* The sentiment panel was cut with one of the Half and Half dies and then stamped with a bracket and sentiment from the Half and Half set. Before securing it to the front of the card I sponged the edges with blue ink, impressed it with the Woodgrain IP and machine stitched along the top of the panel. 
* I die cut the star several times and then stamped one of them with Star Prints in Pure Poppy ink. The stars were layered together to give a little more dimension/thickness and then attached to the sentiment panel. A small star (Golden Harvest) was added to the center of the red star.
