Here's a light and lacy birthday card...white scalloped lace and a piece of a white doily form the base for a floral cluster made up of tulle, cheesecloth, a soft and shabby yellow fabric flower, some gathered cotton lace, three tiny yellow and white roses, and an embellished memo pin holding the sentiment tag...
The large crystal is from Maya Road (Vintage Alterable Trinkets-Large)...it starts as a smooth clear crystal. But you know me by now...I can't leave it that way. :) I coated it with Glossy Accents and sprinkled on some clear coarse glitter. When dry, it's now slightly sparkly, with a pretty prism effect. I put a small jump ring through the top, and tied it to the center knot of the small dyed Hug Snug bows beneath the flowers at the center of the card...
Here's a closeup view of the center of the flower cluster...
