For my birthday card, I used Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Dies, Lawn Fawn Zig Zag dies and Happy Birthday Line Die which were die cut from Bazzill Licorice Twist and Marshmallow cardstocks.

The background is a combination of different papers in this collection which have been torn and a strip of Licorice Twist placed between the layers.

A Penny Black birthday stamp was inked with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and stamped on the white circle.  She was then colored with Copic Markers, matted with the Zig Zag die and added to the card with Scrapbook 3D Foam Adhesives.  Ranger Liquid Pearls in Merlot were added to the cupcake.  To finish, the Happy Birthday phrase was added to the top of the card.

My 2nd card is a 5 1/2" square card from Bazzill Licorice Twist Cardstock.  A sheet from the same collection was added to the card and the roses were fussy cut from another sheet.  For emphasis, the roses were matted with pink cardstock and again fussy cut creating a pocket.

Using Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Dies, Bazzill Licorce Twist and Marshmallow cardstocks were die cut and then slipped behind the roses.  The phrase from Art Impressions Watercolor Stamp set was stamped on Marshmallow cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then die cut with Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle dies.  It was also slipped behind the roses.
