Autumn Colored Birthday Cheer

I think it will take me several weeks to move all of my craft supplies from several rooms to the new room my hubby built from our garage. It's wonderful to have more room and find new ways to organize so I can find things. I'm rediscovering so many OLD papers that I've decided to combine some old with some new to USE IT UP!  I combined some very old Autumn Terracotta and New England Ivy B &T papers with the new sunset link Nevermore paper. I used one of mt favorite old stamps for the blessing and flower with the new Sending Love stamp set. 
The extra leaf was cut with a Spellbinder die and my ribbon is very old CTMH that matches the colors.

When I stamped the flower I inked the leaves and flower top separately, stamped it second generation (by lightly stamping it on scrap paper), then rolled the edges of the flower in additional ink,
