Happy Birthday #1
Flag Card
W 6" x H 8 "

This is a multi layered page flag type card. I used a different textured cardstock for each page ranging in color from a white tone to dark brown. I put various colors of vellum between each page which is where I wrote the poem in dark brown ink using an italic lettering, and also cut out the lettering for "Happy Birthday to you my friend sent with love" done in an oriental style lettering. The last page has a blank inset for a personalized note. The spine is adorned with a brass rod, feathers, fiber threads and a hand made paper bead.

This Greeting Card was entered into the 2005 Stampede, Contest and won 2nd place ribbon in the category "Card Making - Special Occasions"

5th vellum page (pale pink vellum)

"away from you, and sometimes there's nothing I want more than; to talk to you, to tell you about my day, to hear about yours, to laugh with you, to tease you, to share an inside joke, that no one else would get, to argue with you, but know we're just kidding. You my friend do you remember the time"
