There are so many gorgeous WOW cards made with this huge flower, but my main inspiration was this one by lbenden: CC134 ~ Fabulous Flowers by lbenden at Splitcoaststampers She definitely made me buy Martha Stewart's Brownstone glitter!
I stamped the large flower twice on Cool Caribbean cardstock with Encore Bronze ink, heat & stick and Martha's Brownstone glitter. The base one is layered onto Chocolate cardstock and closely trimmed for a border, and the other one is cut out for the middle layer. The smaller six-point flower is the top layer, with a gem brad in the middle. The gem was a pale pink, so I colored it with a darker pink alcohol marker so it would match the Pink Passion cardstock. Each layer is on dimensionals.
For the sentiment and All in a Row image I used the dark brown fluid chalk petal point pad. I stamped the background layer with the So Swirly jumbo wheel in Chocolate Chip and Canvas in River Rock.

Wow! Look at this! I love the brown glitter on Caribbean. It's nice to see this beautiful blue come out to play again. What a delightfully *happy* birthday card!
