A Birthday Card with wisteria on it
Best Wishes Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Best Wishes Birthday Card using the Wisteria Wishes Bundle by Stampin’ Up! For my card, I decided to create a birthday card, but this card could also be used for a wedding or an anniversary.

The Details of My Card

Wisteria comes in all different colours, but I just love wisteria in different tones of purples! So, it was a given that I would use Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather for mine.

I decided to create several layers to build up to the wisteria focal point. The Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder created a nice blank background while creating a bit of interest. The beautiful filigree die from the Fancy Frames Dies added to the delicateness of my wisteria and guided the eye to my focal point.

My wisteria needed a background to separate it from the filigree frame. So, the largest of the Tailor Made Tags was perfect. I die cut it twice using Basic White and the script sheet from the Vellum Layering Designs. I wanted the tag to be popped up and by adding the Basic White behind the vellum, it made it sturdy enough to do so.

Tip: to add glue to vellum so that you do not see it, use a Silicone Craft Sheet with a sponge and dab liquid glue onto the back.

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on a flag from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

For embellishments, I added some Linen Thread and a scattering of Opal Rounds.
