I bet you can't figure out how old my great nephew is turning :) I went with a paper pack that had tag cut outs in it, then used some rub ons for the numbers and a sticker from the $ store for the sentiment.
I was hand delivering this card to our Pastors teenage daughter, and so I went with some puffy flowers made from felt that I have had for quite some time.
The piece that I used for my main image was cut from a piece of the paper I also used from the background, this pad of papers has all kinds of collage papers so that you can cut them apart for focals or use them as collage bases, that is what made me want to buy the paper :) Plus I love the look of them.
I added some washi tape down the side matted my focal piece and added some gems under it. The sentiment tag was too white so I inked it to give it a more vintage look.
I bought another stamp set from a cardmaking magazine at Barnes and Noble. I bought it for the birds in the set but ended up not using any of them on this card.
I liked having this piece of paper for the background but it didn't fit across the whole card and looked like too much white around the edges so I started looking through other papers, but didn't find one I liked then I thought about washi tape and found one that went with the coloring I did on the flowers.
I needed another birthday card for a friend that I can hand deliver her card too, so I went with another Diamond dots card.
