Hello! Today I'm sharing a sweet birthday card I made for a sweet birthday girl! It's kind of a shabby chic confection sort of thing...full of color and girly goodness. I used one of my favorite card folds too. I used to make these cards a lot...but haven't for a while. You'll see what I mean. Hope you like it! Also, the week is going by at warp speed - so I hope you've had a great one! Thanks for coming by today!
The inside pulls out! I added a birthday greeting and my own personal message after taking the pictures. I love this card design because you can go ca-razy with all your patterned papers! The sentiments are both from Amuse stamps.
This card is my entry for the Shabby Tea Room Blog Challenge Week #72! Look at this GORGEOUS inspiration image:
The card starts as an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock scored down the middle, and cut in half the long way. Cut the triangle on your paper cutter but cutting the area in half. The two will then match up when you glue them together. Easy peasy!
Don't you love all this yummy color?? I like that bright pop of red with the yellow and the flowers.
It needed something on the front, ya know! How about a bright pink flower? Why, yes, thank you very much!
Have a beautiful day, beautiful bloggy friends!
Just stunning!!!!! So love it!
