Bodacious Bow Birthday

While browsing through my die collection, I found a set that I have not used in a very long time and one die that has never been used. I thought they would coordinate nicely together on a card.

The older die set was used to cut everything except the bow and the card base. The bow was cut with the newer die. The card base was cut and folded to create a type of easel card. The taupe layer was adhered with foam tape for dimension. The pink elements were heat embossed with clear powder to give them an elegant shine.

The pearls were added to the center of the bow. The sentiment piece was popped up with foam tape and decorated with pearls to provide a stop for the easel card. The inside of the card was lined with white cardstock and stamped with "... on your birthday."

The card is being submitted to the following challenges:

1. Dragonfly Journeys #86

2. Seize the Birthday
