Happy 65th Birthday Carol

Another card for a friend  this week who is celebrating her 65th Birthday tomorrow.

I created this card using Lili of the valley Stamp  -  Cherry On the Top.

I stamped the image on to white card stock and coloured in using promarker pens.

The stamped image was matted onto brown card stock and faux stitching was drawn round the edge for detail.

Two pieces of backing paper were joined  together and a cream piece of paper was fixed across the top part. A decorative edge/strip was created and fixed over the join. Cream ribbon was also fixed across the top of the decorative strip, the backing paper was then matted on to light brown card stock and fixed to the base card. 

The message was matted onto brown card and both message and image were fixed to the card using 1mm 3d foam.
