The Heart That Loves Is Always Young

I love making birthday cards. It was a relative's birthday  recently, so now that she has received it, I will share it with you. I think as adults we are so quick to dismiss birthdays, yet they are our special day, one we should remember and celebrate. Since this creation is pink, I'm displaying it at Pink Saturday

The technique for the background of this card was done by painting and stamping on shipping labels then separating them. I put them on several layers of coordinating papers. A layer of organza ribbon and pink foil flower border edge this card. Some metal butterflies tied with ribbon and the sentiment "The heart that loves is always young" with rhinestones, detail the completed card.

Love alot this week, so you can stay forever young. LOL.
yours truly, gerri

    NICE, Gerri. The border and the butterflies are delightful. And you are right ... we tend to skip birthdays, and my belief systems says we should celebrate as often as possible. Birthdays are a great day to to just that. Have a good one. hugs, Donna
