I then decoupaged the the triangle up so it fitted
perfectly on top of the black and white Image.

Next I Die-Cut out a rectangle from 
White Découpage Paper

(Spellbinders).
I used Metallic Blue Jean pigment Ink
and Dark Orange Ink 
(both from Docrafts)
and sponged them around the edge
of the die-cut paper.

Textured Stone Card
(stash).

For my Front Step,
I used a 'Happy Birthday' Rubber Stamp
(Hampton Art Stamps)
on a strip of White Paper backed on Stone Card.

(All B Designs - free with Crafts Beautiful),
I used the Circle Die-cut on the Stone Card
(Framelit Basic Shapes - Sizzex)
to make the Disc.
I used the Metallic Blue Jean Pigment Ink,
for both of the stamping. 

To make it look a bit neater I used
a 5mm Corner Punch
(X-Cut)
to round off all the Corners
on all of the Stone Card and the
White Sentiment Strip.

To finish my card off 
I used 2 strands of Silver/White Twine 
(stash)
