Birthday Shabby Chic

I made this card for my sister's birthday.

The picture does not do it justice, but since I put it in the envelope

before I checked the pics, it will have to do!

The beautiful foil paper on the top is actually a rich maroon color

that matches the dainty rose print on the bottom.

I chose the pleat fold to accentuate the bottom.

A gold lame ribbon and a die cut tage adorn the card front

along with a stamped Happy Birthday (using Memento Ink) sentiment on a

hand cut banner.

I embossed the whole card base, encorporated the mat from the matching

paper on the front, embossed the Happy Birthday mat, and added a pocket

to hold the die cut tag that will send my personal message.

Thanks for looking!

I will enter this in the following challenges:
