My sisers birthday is in a few days so I decided to make her a handmade card using materials I had on hand. The card has some glitter on it and it did not photograph very well. The color combo is pale yellow and a muted bright blue. I used a couple different papers from the same pack and I added a 3d sticker, a piece of ribbon witha felt sticker and a vellum word I cut out from a pad of vellum phrases that i dotted each corner with puffy paint. On the inside I layered a couple of pieces of paper with a vellum birthday quote and embellished it witha couple of adhesive borders. I am so happy with the way it turned out and plan on making many more cards with all the special occasions and birthdays coming up!

Good job! Card making is addictive, though, so be careful :D
