Hello all and welcome to my first post for Couture Creations! 

You can follow along with my video for this project here: https://youtu.be/Yd_NhUIK2gE

 I made a pretty Happy Birthday card using the beautiful Le Petit Jardin paper collection and the tag and watercolour flower die cuts from the Le Petit Jardin Ephemera’s set from Couture Creations. I also used a stunning little Couture Creations flourish die and finished the card with paper flowers, mini pearls and gemstones. 

 Cut the purple card and pattern paper and mount on the front of your card. Add the Tag set onto the middle of the card. Using the mini swirl corner die set and your Couture Creations GoPress and emboss Machine cut and prepare two corner swirls, first in the purple card and then in the pattern paper. Stick both together with the purple on top. Adhere these to the front of the card on the top right hand corner just above the tag. Tuck two of the mini purple watercolour flowers from the Ephemera Collection just under the top right if the swirl corner. 

Attach a small skeleton flower (if you have one, otherwise ignore this step and follow steps from adding the yellow paper flower) to the bottom left hand corner of the card. Tuck the small blue watercolour flower from the Ephemera Collection just underneath the skeleton flower. Add additional stamens and paper flowers to finish off the flower collection. Using the metal wire cut off from the paper rose, role on a wooden skewer to form a little swirl. Tuck this into the flower combination to add a mixed media and additional dimension to the collection.
