A Card From Long Ago

This is a post I should have done months ago! Anyways here is one of the first successful cards I've made. It was for my friend Bao's birthday. Looking back, I sure didn't have much to work with then, and the end product was very... lacking.

SideNotes:

• absolutely LOVE the cork alphabet set I used to make the "HAPPY"
• the word "Birthday" is one of the rare instances where I've used my clear alphabet stamp set (Autumn Leaves brand by Katie Pertiet)
• the green strip of cardstock came from K&Co - Brookfield Scrap Pad
• the lonely leaf is stamp I bought in an autumn clear stamp set at Target for $1!!!

I do like the back of the card though. I made 'em much better back then:
