Sweet Life Birthday!
I have always liked the layout of this card by Melissa Bickford. Since April '11 I have been meaning to case it, but never have. Sewing on card stock is not my forte; this is most likely the reason why I procrastinated so long.However, needing to make an extra special birthday card for my new daughter-in-law, I caved in.
When I began making this card, my intention was to use Sweet Blush, Melon Berry and Pure Poppy inks. Instead I switched out the Prue Poppy for Canyon Clay. I am so happy I did as I think this fits the season better. Plus, I love how the roses turned out in this combination.
On the inside I used the new Over Under Easy Sentiment.
Here is the gift card holder I made to hold the gc for her favorite store: Forever XXI.
The tag that was on her gift.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Wow...this is just amazing. So classy and elegant, those roses look like you took the time to hand paint each and every petal. So stunning.
What a beautiful set, Carol. The card is gorgeous in that colour combo and the matching gift card holoder and tag are a sweet bonus!!
What a great gift set. And, how sweet that everything matches so well. I think that your color scheme is just gorgeous. I'm jealous of your Sweet Blush ink. I had to send mine back because it was brown.
This is beautiful and the colours are just wonderful. Great job.
The flowers are stunning. I love the colors you picked, they look lifelike! Beautiful card with the scallops and the tied bow and love the matching tag!!
Oh, wow, these are gorgeous! I'm sure your new DIL will love them!
