Happy Birthday, Kathy!

Three of my sisters-in-law plus my sister have October birthdays so I decided to use two challenges for inspiration in making one of the cards.

On the card base, a panel of green cardstock was adhered. The inside of the card was decorated with DP that coordinates with the front of the card. On a panel of pink cardstock, embossing paste was used with a stencil to create texture for the background. An oval die cut lightly edge-sponged in pink was adhered. A banner was cut with a scalloped edge and backed with cardstock. A smaller banner

was cut, edge-sponged and decorated with tiny bows and pearls. The banners were slightly overlapped and backed with It was also stamped with little dots of ink the same color as the larger banner but it photographed differently. This was backed with foam tape and raised for dimension. Three additional pearls were added to the vellum oval.
foam tape to add dimension. The sentiment was stamped and die cut and adhered to a larger die cut in green DP.
