Birthday Present card

Check out today's card.

It is the card I made for Brayden's 18th birthday!

I thought it turned out really cute & love it!

What do you think? 

 

I wanted to do a present with a big bow.

So my challenge was trying to figure out what products I could use to make the bow.

 

I ended up using some retired Oval punches to punch out ovals & then

cut & looped them to make the bow. 

I flagged the ends of the ribbon using scissors. 

There are a couple of SNEAK PEEKS on this card.

 

For the inside of the card I used this new stamp set!

It is called- 'You're The Best'!

AND 

I also used some NEW DSP called-

Artisan Sketched Garden that is all black & white images!
