Hey crafty friends,
Today I am sharing this pretty birthday card I made for someone special. I started with the Floral Birthday Card and cut out the flower, leaf and wreath elements in white cardstock. I inked the edge of the flowers with my light pink ink.

I then layered and staggered the pieces. I then turned to the leaves and inked them lightly with my pear ink. I wanted the elements to have just a touch of color.

I cut the wreath out two times and then layered them so the element would be just a bit stronger. For the patterned paper I used some pretty paper from the DCWV Luxury Stack. I then turned to my machine’s Pen tool. I used my pink glitter gel pen and designed the diamond pattern on the top mat. Instead of “cutting” the pattern, I used my Pen Tool and “drew” the pattern. This made the stitch look I was after perfect. I did the same thing for the larger pink mat. I just created a smaller mat and used the stitch line. This made the stitching look perfect.  I then used a font on my computer and my Pen Tool one more time to draw out my sentiment. While it wasn’t a single line font, I liked the look I achieved. Lastly I added a bow and some pearl accents and then assembled it all. I love the way it turned out.
