Sue's card

Here is the card that I made for my sister Sue's birthday.


I really liked the colours and the simplicity of the card with using just a few elements. 

I started out with a Kraft card base, lined that with chocolate card stock.  To this I added a aged printed piece of vintage music.  The vintage lace was a lovely find at the local op shop.  The flowers are in two parts, the back section is hand gathered tea stained lace, which when I first tried on the card was too stark, so I added a hessian / burlap centre, much better.  The Happy Birthday stamp (freebie with a Card magazine) was stamped onto fawn coloured card stock with the Momento Toffee Crunch ink pad.  A small chocolate brown chiffon ribbon completes the card.

I had a one little flower left over, so I added it to the gift wrapping on her present.  As you can see, I kept it all in theme.


Looking at the next photo, I could have done more with the outside of the envelope for the card ...  I must admit, all I did was add a little strip of music washi tape across the corner.  


I am now working on some little owls for a market, so will show you the results when finished.

  1. Wonderful card. Love the lace accents. I like what you did with the gift wrap also. Ok I agree with you that you could have done a bit more with the envelope but I wouldn't have thought to do that much. Was your teacher thrilled with her student's results?
