We want to thank everyone who participated in the last Lexi's Creation challenge. We had so many awesome entries. I am glad that I didn't have to choose a winner:) Are you ready for the next challenge? This is an easy one: Birthday~You can make a birthday paper craft for anyone you choose... easy...right?
Here is the card I chose to make using a sentiment from Lexi's store on the inside of this card:
This is quite a simple card, just many layers.
Here is a close up view of the front wreath:
Here is the inside with the sentiment from Lexi's store:
You can see that there are three patterened designer papers:
One is the green print triangle, the pink dotted paper and under the ribbon is a coordinating stripe of pink and green. I layered the ribbon over the striped paper. The wreath was stamped first then I added the pink flowers and the sentiment. The corner rounder was used on two sides then the edges were distressed in a light green chalk before layering this, also on the pink dotted paper.You will see that some glitter was added on the edges of the green floral paper. Finally, vintage lace and pink rhinestones were added.
Materials Used:
Stamp: Close to My Heart, layering stamp
Inks: CTMH
DP, rhinestones, glitter: Michael's
Ribbon: a gift from a blog buddy
Lace: Vintage

Hi Barbara - Love the different papers you've used on this card and also the way you rounded 2 opposite corners of the square to get an unusual shape ... might try that idea myself! Have a good week.
