Apply more or less ink and pressure to get a look you like. Adhere the designer series paper strip to the bottom of this piece. Adhere this to the Basic Black card stock and then adhere this piece to the card front.
- Die cut 2 pieces of the fence from scraps of Basic White card stock. Adhere to card front just above the designer series paper, trimming off excess fence.

Use the Color Lifter Blends marker to lighten the face, wings and tail. Adhere to card front using dimensionals.
- Die cut a “Happy Birthday” sentiment from scraps of Basic Black and Seaside Spray card stock. Adhere the Basic Black sentiment over the Seaside Spray sentiment so that only a slight amount of Seaside Spray is visible. Adhere this piece to the card front using small slivers of dimensionals.
