I need to make some birthday cards an thought it was a good opportunity to try an old card model from Petra van Dam which was for a long time on my wish list ...
I think its called a "Coat" card because a large piece of paper is wrapped along the main image like a coat.
To decorate the top of the main image I used Anja's large flower corner and sponged the embossed area's with Bundle Sage.
The PP with flowers is from Marianne Design: "Eline's nursery" PB703. The soft green PP with leafs is from HOTP 4114.
The image is from a decoupage sheet, cut by hand into several layers and popped up with foam tape. (see little photo).
I did not stick the main image to the backside of the coat so I could insert a tag with a personal message. (see second little photo).
For further embellishments I just used a large pearl on the bow of the bouquet and some fussy cut flowers.

Every once in a while, I come across a card in the gallery that takes my breath away. Today, it is this one. It is amazing! The colors are rich, the main image is beautiful, and the fold is complementary to the whole thing. Thanks for adding to my favorites gallery!
