Pretty Plum Birthday card with a Judikins mica gloss background

It took me a couple of days to complete this card, I picked the back ground which I made a while ago, I found a great sketch but I got stuck on the sentiment.  Then I saw a birthday challenge and settled on Happy Birthday.  I pulled out my new Stampin Up stamp set Sky is the Limit and used a new birthday sentiment.  The font is really pretty.

A close up of the gorgeous background.  Judikins Mica Gloss is absolutely gorgeous and so pearly!

Ingredients:
Hand made background using Judikins Mica gloss
Our Daily Bread Designs stitched retangle die
Stampin Up sentiment from Sky is the Limit

I chose the center horizontal row.  Purple is one of my favorite colors (along with green), I probably used a die or punch on every single item I make so they must be a favorite technique, and I just love to add a touch of lace in this card I used a doily.
