Happy Birthday Blue Card

Happy Birthday Blue Card
Today, I tried another Happy Birthday Card but a little different this time. Of course, I still used paper flowers, but I have been seeing new examples around numerous blogs and wanted to go out of my comfort zone. I am learning and transitioning using different techniques, so thank you all for awesome ideas.

I used two different tones of blue and cut the lighter blue paper smaller than the card. I never do this, so this small step was actually very new to me. I always use mulberry paper flowers. I probably will never stray away from this but I did use something different - my leaves. I bought a leaf vine punch out and used those instead of my mulberry paper leaves. And, I couldn't find any extra happy birthday stickers, so I handwrote happy birthday in a black marker and outlined the left sides with a navy blue ball point pen.
