I made a birthday card for a very sweet friend
that I've gotten to know really well through social media and beyond.
She's a very lovely Christian woman that
I find to be very classy and elegant.
So, keeping that in mind,
I chose a very classy elegant paper collection to make her card!
This is Mintay's "Dear Diary" collection by Karola.
It reminds me so much of my friend, Patty.
Colors of blush, peach, browns and very light greens
in this collection, really draw you in completely!
The bird is absolutely adorable and the books speak to what Patty loves.
The slimline card & envelope are both just so pretty!
I love adding either rhinestones or, in this case,
pearls, in random places to make a card really feminine.
The shaker is made from 3 layers of Creative Embellishments chipboard frames.
The shaker mix is a combination of many things......
they are listed in the products list at the end.
The inside of the card is precious!
I just LOVE that cute little bird!
She's 'everywhere' in this collection.
Punching the corners made these pieces more feminine.
I chose the English font for Patty's birthday sentiment, as well as the
Happy Birthday inside of the shaker on the front of the card.
I find the English font to be very elegant, of which Patty is.
Isn't it a beautiful scene when the card is fully opened
to reveal the front & the backside together?
She is such a deserving person to be recognized on her birthday!
Have a very blessed day,
Lisa >^..^<
