TGIF ... haven't heard that in a long time, have you? Well, it is TGIF for me because we've been presented with 2 great challenges. Dina's MIX168 calls for double matting and Jeanne's calls for a birthday card.
I hope, for those that have daughters-in-law, you love your DIL as much as I do. From day one, I knew this girl was special. I am truly blessed to have this very special woman in my life.
I assume you might be wondering why the face of this card doesn't resemble a typical birthday image. I couldn't find a better image to tell Jessica how much she means to me. Thus, I opted to use a great I Brake For Stamp's LOVE image.
I did a water color wash in cobalt blue. I embossed with fine silver powder when dry. Added a very special pearl (to me) flower and some leaves and that was that.
Have a great weekend everyone. May you find love in all the right places as I have.

I love the Richness of your card!!! The Great blue and the Rich silver are Outstanding. Your pearl flower is a Wonderful touch! Isn't it so very special when people come into your family who you can really appreciate! I have also been blessed with several really wonderful in-laws. Your DIL has a very special MIL! I know she will love this card.

That silver is so special looking when paired with that rich blue! WOW..If the multitude of "love" on the card doesn't show her how much you care then the elegance of the design will. This is so pretty!

Yay! Always like to hear exceptions to the old saw about MILs/DILs. I was blessed with a wonderful MIL.
This is so pretty...the great contrast of two rich colors...and may I say-a really good heat emboss on what could be a challenging image! Lot of fine lines in there-superfine EP or not.
Oh gee-that's great you put something special to you on it too! It's a keeper in my book and I bet she does!

Another example of your lovely, elegant style. The pearls are just gorgeous. "Someone" must have done a darn good job raising their son for him to pick such a perfect wife....sons often marry women that remind them of their mom's.
