For A Special Person Birthday Card

For this card, I created an A2 card base using a double-sided olive green paper that has dots on one side and is plain green on the other. I used the side with dots for the front so I could write my message more easily on the inside without having to add a piece of white card stock. 

The pink panel was die cut using my new PinkFresh Studio Stitched Background Essentials die. Isn't it pretty? I ordered it from Simon Says Stamp with the gift card I recently won in their weekly challenge. Thanks, SSS!

On top of the pink panel, I layered a frame from SU!'s Framed Florets bundle using a design paper that is free through the end of February with a Stampin' Up! order of $50 or more. It's a beautiful set of double-sided papers. Then I stamped the sentiment from that same bundle and die cut it with anothe frame die in the set. I popped the sentiment up with foam tape and then added a couple die cut embellishments (also SU!) cut out of white card stock covered in metallic gold duct tape.
