  1. Trim the card to a 5" square and turn the card so the fold is at the top. Cover with the striped paper, trimming edges evenly with the card. Ink the edges. Cut a 2" green textured square and stamp the large floral image centered on it. Ink the edges of the square, mat on white and ink the edges again. Making sure the ink has dried completely, fill in the petals and tiny center of each stamped flower. Cut a 5"x1" strip of pink textured paper and ink the edges. Stamp the 1" swirl image on each end, leaving space at the center for the matted flower square. When dry, fill in the spaces with the white pen. Set pieces aside.
  2. Cut a 4" square from the floral border and mat on white, leaving a very thin white border. Ink the edges and glue centered to the card front. Attach the pink strip centered vertically on the card front. Glue the matted stamped square centered over the pink strip. Write "Happy Birthday" on a green tag with the white pen. Mat on white, leaving a thin border. Add white mini brad at top of tag and glue to the card front as shown.
  3. Inside the card: Cut a 4" square from striped paper, ink the edges, and glue centered to the inside. Cut a 4"x1" strip of floral paper from the pink textured sheet and ink the edges. Mat the long sides on pink textured paper from the same sheet, and ink outer edges. Glue vertically to the striped square, slightly left of center. Stamp the right edge of the large green tag with only a portion of the same floral image as on the front of the card. Let dry and fill in the petals and tiny center with the white pen. Write "Have a wonderful day!" on the center of the tag. Mat on white, ink edges, and add a brad to the top of the tag. Glue over the center of the inside.
