Birthday Card 2022 for Diana

I made a birthday card for my very dear friend Diana.

She's a retired landscaper; loves being in the garden & outdoors; 

and her favorite color is purple!

What better paper collection to choose for her card than the

Maja Design collection Enjoying Outdoors! 

I decorated the front of this 6x6 card with a homemade shaker, gorgeous dragonflies, flat back pearls, flowers and ribbon. 

The shaker is made from layers of die cut chipboard, acetate, 

foam adhesive & of course a sequin mix.

ReneaBouquets dragonflies are stunning and make this shaker totally awesome!

To hide the layers of the shaker, I used coordinating lime green and 

deep eggplant-purple ribbons.  

Then chartreuse moss & pretty flowers added below the shaker 

help hide the ribbon knot.

I made a collage inside of the card using cut outs from the paper collection.  

A personal sentiment is die cut and adhered to a darker solid paper 

and a few sequin pieces from the shaker mix help decorate it.

 

Thanks for viewing and as always,

stay safe, healthy & happy!
