I die cut the "Essentials 168" from Studio Light twice, once in white cardstock for the front, and in red cardstock for the back of the card.
Then I glued the solid panels together leaving the upper part open so I could insert the tag, just above the flowers.
I took my photo so you can read the sentiment saying:"Many people think about you on your birthday...I am one of them".
My image is very old from my stash, cut by hand into several layers.
For further embellishments I punched out the butterfly, added glossy accents and pearls.
Decoration on the left side:
I stamped and embossed the sentiment saying:" Enjoy today, repeat it tomorrow", and made a bead chain with an iron charm which is attached to the round sentiment die cuts by an red eyelet.
Schitterende kaart. Ben beschaamd dat het zo lang geleden is dat ik nog een bezoekje heb gebracht. Je hebt prachtige werkjes gepost, altijd wel iets speciaals bij jou.

Beautiful!! And what a great job with the alignment of the die cut edges, it would take me a few tries to get one even close enough! So extra kudos to you for that. A beautiful birthday card to treasure!
