SAF 2015: Threads Challenge Take 2

I've got another card for the Threads Challenge at #stampafaire2015!

I used polka dot basics for the background, stamped off for an ombre look. 

Doesn't Laura Basson make you giggle? I love to listen to her videos- she is so animated!!

I put an oval vellum layer down to diffuse the dots and added my 'happy' die cut (DCWV patterned paper) over my thread nest that I made using May Arts silver metallic string.

A little vellum flag was stamped with the 'birthday' and heat embossed with clear powder.
