I made this card with one of my card groups and I just love how it turned out.  This would make a great card to tuck in a present, it is a standard A2 card but without all the bulk. It folds up great in an envelope.

I made this card for a male birthday but it could easily go for anyone else.

I embossed a light blue card stock and mounted it on navy blue card stock.  For the lighthouse I colored it using alcohol markers and then stamped Happiest Birthday to the right of the lighthouse. I mounted the lighthouse with a thin black border and popped it up using dimensionals. For the inside I used a simple sentiment of “Time to Celebrate.”

For this card I decided to make it by outlining the roses and also by coloring the roses in.

I first embossed the dark pink background so the roses would pop against the background.  I then used subtle colors of pale pink, light green and yellow to color the roses.  On the first card I only outlined the roses with the pink marker and then added some winkastella.  For the second card I colored the roses in with a pink marker..  I personally like the outlined roses better.  I added a small sentiment of God Bless which would make this card versatile for any occasion.
