I love white on white and vanilla on vanilla, but decided to add some gold to the card to make it sparkle.
I wanted to make a very special birthday card for my mother's 78th b/day because she just lost her husband last month - my stepfather. I was hoping all the gold, sparkle and details would brighten her day.
I used the MS Ring PATP on the large and small framings and popped them up on dimensionals. I embossed the sentiment in gold, added a sparkly b/fly from my stash, rolled my roses using the MFT mini rose die and placed them on top of a gold flower. The flower punch was given to me by my punchie buddy, Marie, a/k/a momof5sons! Thanks Marie - I LOVE it!! Added some extra bling and a gold and offray bow.
Thanks so much for taking a look and I hope you have a pleasant week!

Wow Pam this is stunning. I love the vanilla on vanilla combo with the gold. So elegant and yummy looking. The details are just fabulous. That butterfly is just phenomenal-I love the sparkle and shine from it. My Mom is also 78 too Pam. I know she is going to be missing your Step-Father terribly. Hopefully she has a friend that will make sure to stop by and take her out to lunch and do thing with her-that helped my Mom. Wishing your Mom a Blessed Birthday!

Wow! This is a beauty, Pam. Your mom is sure to love this. I love your rolled roses and they are so pretty with the gold flower behind them. That's a wonderful gift from Marzi Marie. Awesome butterfly...so many beautiful details. I love it.

SIS! This is a golden spectacular beauty. So she is going to be 78? Our other Mom is going to be 77 - they are very close in age. I think Mom is going to love this one - I do. I need to try that stamp with this type of PATP because it looks unbelievably beautiful. Send Mom some Hugz from Nutzi and give yourself one also.

Loving the punched borders...happy sigh ...and all the white space. Lovely touch with the touches of gold and loving the flowers. I'm sure she will treasure the card.
