My goal was to make a very feminine birthday card.
CARD (5.5” tall by 4.25” wide)
I created the base card from white cardstock and scored it at the top so that my pink birthday card opens from the bottom. I layered the top panel with a light pink cardstock. I embossed a darker piece of pink cardstock with a swirl pattern and edged it with an even darker pink decorative punch. This embossed piece was affixed to the upper portion of the panel and the sentiment "Birthday Wishes" was printed below it. To add a little interest I attached a pink organdy ribbon and bow, as well as, several pink pearl gems.
For the inside card panel I used white cardstock matted on pink. I embellished it with a strip of the swirl embossed pink cardstock. I left the panel blank.
I also handmade the envelope from heavy white cover stock.
