I made this card for my mom's birthday. We threw a surprise birthday party for her this weekend. It went great. I can't believe all of us managed to keep it a secret so long. I wanted to make her a big card that had room for everyone to sign so this is a whole sheet of cardstock folded in half (5.5X8.5). It took me forever to figure out how to fill up so much space. I mean this is twice what I'm used to working with. I know I just posted a card very similar to this recently, but I knew my mom would love the faux silk and I wanted to use the pink ribbon so I went with the same colors too.
-Stamps-Artfully Asian, It's your Birthday
-Paper-Pretty in Pink, Basic Black Whisper White cardstock and tissue paper.
-Ink-Black Staz-on, Whisper White craft
-Accessories-Styled Silver HPH, White Signo gel pen, Black Grosgrain ribbon, Flirty ribbon originals (retired), Ticket corner punch and Corner rounder punch.
