I made this card for Francesca's 75th birthday. She loves flowers and Elvis, so I decided to incorporate both in the design. The background features a beautiful floral paper from Design by Reminisce.
For Elvis, I cut thick black glitter stock using the Cricut machine. I first did some computer work to create the cutout, and I'm happy with how it turned out on the first try. The sentiment was printed out, cut with a scan n cut machine, and then layered on top of a background piece.
Happy Birthday Francesca.
Thanks for looking.

Wow! Your card and Elvis are stunning! I have a Scan N Cut 2 but can't seem to figure out how to run it. It cuts where I don't want it to. It was on sale and came with no instructions.

Great card for the flower lover and Elvis fan! That patterned paper is so fun and vibrant. You have a bit later iteration of Elvis's style with his cape and glitter/glam!

Well, Elvis is definitely in this house and I love that he is outfitted in glitter paper -- so Elvis with all his bejeweled jumpsuits. But can we talk about that bg dp -- omigosh, this is so bright and colorful and gorgeous. Perfect combo for Francesca's celebration. Awesome card.
