It seems like I have had lots of friends celebrating Birthdays!!! Well I must say……I simply LOVE this card! I was on the fence about purchasing this Framelit but I sure am glad I did! Is this the best card or what! Right up my alley with clean and simple lines!

Crumbcake is probably one of my favorite color of papers and I always use it as one of my "go to's" but I thought the Early Espresso would also add an element of depth and sophistication and the end result is spectacular! Using the Very Vanilla Card Stock I ran the "dress" through "OLD FAITHFUL" Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and I wish I had a dress like that!

The "belt" with the adorable flower and pearl is that simple – understated focal point that brings it all together! This card uses a very minimal about of materials and actually comes together in a jiffy! I looked at it and then thought….what else could I do but still keeping it looking like Jackie Kennedy would say WOW……Out came the scalloped trim border and that little touch put this card up and over the top! I masked off part of the sentiment just to get the part that I wanted and then freehand cutting it out….( I like this kind of look) again SIMPLE!

The inside message was the perfect Sentiment for my friend and I just had to finish it off with another flower and pearl! I had made up several of these gems to keep on hand because I just think it is the cutest card!!!! and as always…..my card has to have a liner – this was from the Holiday Paper Stack! Perfect!
