The Book Card!

Good morning!
As promised, I'm here with the book card I made for my friend's Mum's 60th Birthday last week...


I have a template for this card that I made in Word ages ago, and I just alter it as needed for the correct occasion. I have used Certainly Celery and Wild Wasabi Designer Series papers stuck onto plain white card. I distressed the edges using Always Artichoke for a shaded affect.


The inside is filled with photos of the recipient and her family, and a verse chosen by my friend. I also distressed the edges of the photos to give them an aged look.

I finished with flowers from Secret Garden and Butterflies from Papillon Pot Pourri, stamped in pinks and purples. The book is held together with Very Vanilla seam binding.


 I made a box to match and wrapped it with matching seam binding and a tag with 'Mum' printed from the pc.

I think the card has the looks of a spring garden, don't you?

Cardstock - Whisper White
Designer Series Paper - Subtles
