To make this card I used water color crayons to do a rainbow effect on the water resist paper. I then folded the doily fan shape and created a bouquet. I used mint macaroon ribbon SU, and the Duet Banner frame and celebrate stamp. In side I put Best Wishes for a Wonderful Birthday. I put the 60 on green vellum inside the off white metal frame from SU a number of years ago.
