This is for Irene who will be 99 next month. I wanted to use one of my 3D embossing folders and try it with mulberry paper for the center of this. I have a whole stash of mulberry and I found this pretty dark pink...I thought it would look nice with a purple bg. I added the gold wreath and glitter birds.

The texture in that makes me wish I could reach in and feel it. I'd be afraid of mulberry tearing in those 3D folders, but obviously it doesn't - it just looks beautiful. The little birds perched in the wreath are darling.

Oh I have never embossed mulberry paper, I totally did not know we could...Genius Polly and what a great card you created with it too. Irene is going to love the colors and the wonderful textures on this card.

What a fabulous card for Irene, Polly! I've always loved your creations, so different and so creative! Love the use of the mulberry paper. Think we all bought to much when it was all the rage. Beautiful card and one I'm sure she will cherish.
