I made a special card for my god daughter's birthday!! I used one of my hammered botanicals for the background and found coordinating silk flowers and vintage seam binding in my stash. I added a bit of coordinating watercolour around the edges of the background where the white was distracting and glued the 5" x 8" piece to a lightweight green cardstock. I added a piece of purple seam binding across the length and glued the ends to the back of the layer. On the right over the seam binding I added a layered greeting which consisted of an oval punched laser printed digital image (Birds Cards), a coordinating purple oval and an oval of vellum which I trimmed with scalloped decorative scissors. On the left above the seam binding I added three dark purple silk flowers to which I had added tiny iridescent white sequins with tiny black brads. I tied a short length of the same seam binding in the middle using one knot which nicely simulates a bow and positioned it where it looked like it belonged. To finish off my card I glued this large layer to the front of a large white card (5.5" x 8.5"). I hope she enjoys it and the little treats I have included inside.
