"Sentiment"al Birthday Card

I had made a card with Simon Says Stamp's Nested Banner dies a few posts ago.  I had not used the middle ring of die cuts, and said I was going to find a way to use them...well...here's what I made with them...
I decided(after MUCH trial and error), to stamp sentiments inside each ring.  I gathered sentiments from a number of Simon stamp sets, and used some Sunny Studio rainbow striped paper to cover the rings.  I loved what the colors brought to the sentiments,  and happily made this a birthday card!  I then wanted a background.  I decided to use the candles from the Simon Birthday Borders stamp set.  I opted for a black panel and used white ink..thought it looked cool!  I will say, I used my MISTI for the positioning of the candles...made the stamping SO MUCH easier than stamping by mere sight, with hands!!  Here's a close up...
Rainbows and birthdays...LOVE!!  
Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
