Just a quick recap...we're daring you to make a card or project with a Birthday Theme in honor of 4 divas and the boss lady's birthdays this month. In fact, it just happens to be Jen Tapler's birthday today, so if you have a moment, stop by her blog and spread some birthday wishes. And did you get a chance to wish our fearless leader and sweet friend, Julee, a birthday yesterday? If not, I'm sure she wouldn't mind prolonging her birthday to receive a few more. *grin*
Okay, maybe I should share how I answered the dare.
I usually go all embellishment crazy on a card, but as I was creating this one, I ended up with a pretty clean and simple look using the Ribbon Banner die, Plain Jane Fringe Flower, and a birthday sentiment from Joyful Blooms.
I love texture, so I stamped the Fringe Flower image, using Black Stazon, onto some felt and added a button, as well as a sweet little canvas tag with the birthday sentiment on it. As a backdrop to the sentiment, I added a little banner using Verve's Ribbon Banner die.

That's about it for this simple little card.
