My card today is kind of a continuation of the card I uploaded for yesterday's CAS51 challenge. This card was done with the same piece of DP except a different section. I made this card for my youngest daughter's 18th birthday. She likes things that sparkle so I embossed the greeting with holographic embossing powder although you can't really tell from the photo. The heart is from an old necklace.
Like the bird on the card she needs to spread her wings and fly as she is now in her first year of university. TFL

This is so beautiful!! I have a sheet of this designer paper and I have been afraid to cut into it, it's so pretty.
The heart embellishment is awesome too!
