Frilly vintage look pink & black Paris birthday card and what to do with leftover flower wires

I've used the Sizzix French Flight stamp and die set to create this vintage look birthday card for my niece. It's one of the rare 'traditional' rubber stamp projects I've done recently (you can see the same set in action on this Paris thank you card). 

Of course, it was too thick and fragile to send in a flat envelope. It's rare I make cards anymore I can't send in a flat envelope and each time I do and have to pay the postage for a box, I remember why that is.

The sentiment comes from one of Cuddly Buddly's greeting sheets (love these! so quick and easy), this time it's Kim's Twelve Round Greetings Mixed 2. 

*Crafty Tip* Don't trash those cut, green wire, flower stems! Simply wrap around a toothpick and use as embellishments (you can see them peeping out in the detail photo above).
