Forever Young and Pretty
For the feminine woman who loves pink, flowers, birds and sparkle, this card knocked it out of the park on all points. Two Fall birthdays in my family are for women I dearly love; my sister and my daughter. I made two different versions of the card to suit their individual personalities. Here is the first one.
I've been making a lot of cards lately with various kinds of windows. For this large window style, the inside has to be just as pretty as the front.
Card size is 5-3/4" square.
The window is a sturdy acrylic that I embossed with birds and leaves (perfect for my gardener recipient).
The cardstock I used for the front frame and inside verse are both from DCWV Cherry Limade Stack. The selections in this book are all beautiful -- some have foil accents, some have glitter. Sparkly model on the front is cut from DCWV Glitzy Glitter, and it surely IS that! The hardest part was choosing one from the many great options!
I was inspired to make this card by Sheila, of She's a Sassy Lady blog. Sheila shared a tutorial two years ago and I loved what she did with it. Link to Sheila's original post and video: Making a window card with a large window

Beautiful card! I love the sparkles, embossing and flowers.
Absolutely gorgeous, Grace.
SO elegant, Grace! I love the embossing on the acetate and how the inside of your card is as beautifully finished as the outside. Lovely!
