Happy Birthday Card Using Tranquil Tide Cardstock

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I wish to share another card I made using the Eastern Beauty stamp set and the Eastern Medallion Thinlits dies from Stampin' Up!.  I really love using these two sets right now!  I also used the Happy Birthday Greeting from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set, which I feel looks great!  What do you think?
