A Clean and Simple Birthday Card

 Today I am sharing a birthday card I made last month,
for a friend to give to her Mum.


I embossed a rectangle of white card with the 3D embossing folder
and attached it to the card base with 3D foam.

The sentiment was computer generated, printed on white card
and die-cut with the label die. I then glued it to a piece of
purple card and cut by hand to make a frame. I then used 3D foam to
attach it to the card, and lastly added some pearls.
