Happy Birthday Valerie........

It was my birthday on Tuesday, and the day after it was my sister Valerie's Birthday- there's three years and a day between us, she being the younger- and this is the card that I made for her. I used First Edition 'Bird Song' papers from the 8x8 stack. The background paper has large stylised pink flowers on it and the smaller paper panel has cute black birdcages with little pink birdies in them. I added a piece of punched black paper behind the panel before I adhered it to the card. I cut two vine borders from Papermania Shimmer cardstock and adhered one vertically and the other horizontally to the front of the card. I cut a black bird cage from more shimmer cardstock and adhered it over the join in the two vines. The bird was cut from pink spotted paper from the paper stack, then adhered to the cage with foam pads.. A smattering of teeny punched paper flowers were added to the vine. Pink glitterglue was popped into the centre of each flower. A scalloped frame cut from the same paper as the bird,shadowed in black, with a patterned paper backing holds a Safmat computer-generated sentiment . 'Sister',cut from shimmer cardstock, a trio of pearls and a floral embellishment on the sentiment frame completes the card.
