Happy Birthday Amber!


This is the card that I made for the daughter of some good friends of ours. I made the card from scratch - by that I mean that the card base was cut with the Cricut along with the patterned front of the card (liner). I cut the card out @ 6 1/2" but had to trim a smidgen off the right hand side to get it to fit a square envelope. I covered the inside back with pink paper then a smaller piece of dotty line paper. The front was covered in pink paper, the aperture cut away by hand and then the liner adhered over it. I added a voile bow and layered flower with a polka dot brad in the centre. I used a Dovecraft image again and adhered it to the back of the card so that it appears in the aperture when the card is shut. I added the recipient's name to the front and Happy Birthday to the inside.
Carts used:
