Happy birthday Amelia

It was the last of the 18th birthday celebrations yesterday and so here is the card I made for my daughter to give to her friend – I know this is in the middle of my Christmas in July project but don’t worry there will be a festive themed project coming up shortly!

Amelia and Maya both love green so there is a lot of green on this but of course I also added the pop of pink and peach on the flowers.

I used the Altenew Eclectic bouquet set for this … the stencil to colour, the die to cut out and the embossing folder for the main bouquet element.

I also stamped and stencilled and die cut two of the leaf elements.

Behind on the panel I created a ‘wreath’ using the wreath builder and the stamps in the set for the greenery.

I then die cut a piece of the silver glimmer paper using the zero waste leaf die and used two sprigs for behind the main bouquet.

I added the background to a piece of the glimmer paper (which I gutted to conserve the paper for other projects). And then I raised it on foam so it had some dimension.

I chose to use some thicker stickers for the number 18 and then a sentiment I had die cut already. I added the scrap of the peach gathered ribbon and the silver ribbon for a bow for embellishing.

I also added green enamel gems for the finishing touches.

So happy birthday to Amelia and hope she enjoyed her celebration!

Happy crafting!
