How hard can a birthday card be?? I make them all the time.... This one has given my no end of angst in terms of colour and design. This is what has evolved. I turned a little flourish into a frame in one of my favourite colour combinations. I possibly should have matted it on red to be a bit more striking. No ribbon but plenty of bling.

What a wonderful frame, such a great idea, love the CAS design too.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't change a thing - this is just wonderful. An elegant CAS design - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNo, it's perfect just as it is--you always do CAS so well! I love the inventive idea of making the border from the flourish, now I have to go back to my various flourish stamps and see what can be done with them. Thanks for the inspiration! Oh, and I like the way you worked the bling into the design!
ReplyDeleteI think it's just perfect, too. This is wonderful, and you'd never know that it caused so much trouble!

ReplyDeleteWow, Cassandra, I absolutely love how you created that frame with the little flourish. I would never have thought of doing that. I bet it took ages to get everything lined up and perfect with having two sizes of frame. Superb!
