My mom turned 87 last week. I designed this card for her -- since her middle name is "Rose", I thought this cardstock was appropriate! I tore two different card stock designs from the Stampin Up vintage paper pack. I then distressed the edges and attached them to the front of a vintage-paper cardstock. I then cut out the rose designs from another sheet of cardstock, distressed the edges and attached to the center of the card front, using dimensional dots to give them a life. I also added matching small pearls to the centers of the roses and highlighted the rose petals with my stardust glitter pen. I found the gold plastic vintage fan in a package of buttons, so I removed the shank, put a scrap of lace trim underneath it, and attached it to the bottom of the card. I think it balances the entire design of the card roses, papers, etc. I stamped happy birthday and punched out, distressed edges and attached with dimensional dots.
Let me know what you think!
Such a pretty and thoughtful card for your mom's birthday. Mine turns 89 on the 4th next month, so I'm going to be getting busy designing one for her too. I love the roses on this.
