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.

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?
