Adding to my collection of birthday cards, although this one will be going out fairly soon for a summer birthday. The image from Lemon Shortbread was so much fun to color and made me think of summer so I used summer-y colors! One of the 'fun' summer things I get to do is tend my roses, and make lots of rose bouquets for the breakfast bar and dining table. For me, roses mean summer every bit as much as trip to the seashore.
I colored with my ProMarkers, then cut the image with a die from one of my sets by Spellbinders. I layered the die cut onto a coral pink card front and added one of my little hand-made bows, dyed with a ProMarker to get the exact color I wanted.
The die cut was so detailed and feminine that the card really didn't need any other embellishment so I opted for leaving it rather simple.
