My parent's anniversary is coming up and they will have been married for 66 years!!!!!! Good on them!! They are still living independently and are safe and well during this health crisis! We are all grateful.
I started with a large envelope and I made a white card to fit inside. I chose a double sided white core green paper and embossed and sanded it a bit to get some texture on it. I added a wide white ribbon and then adhered it to my card front. I tied the remainder to the bottom portion using a single knot to simulate a bow. I rotated the knot on the ribbon to have the knot behind which gives a more elegant look on the front. I die cut a white core pink layer and embossed it with the Swiss Dot embossing folder. I sanded the dots and edges for texture and interest. I dug through my serendipity stash and found this die cut heart that coordinated very nicely. I tied on some pink fiber and mounted it to the label using 3D foam tape. I mounted this focal element to my card front overlapping the ribbon.

CAS Birthday card featuring decorative paper, digital greeting and tracing wheel texture
I kept digging into my green paper scraps and found these three that worked together. These had to be trimmed to size. I was happy to find a layout that worked well with this colour printed font greeting which I found in my stash. The scroll frame is from CLKER. I added the colour and greeting digitally and then laser printed it. It had a white border which was quite distracting so I fussy cut it off and used my distress tool on the edges. I masked the scrolled ends and added a bit of green sponged ink to help highlight them. I added texture to my card base using my pattern tracing wheel before I adhered all of my elements to it. I made this red card to fit in a small envelope.
