My image was colored with pencils and blended. The image is a total of three layers that have been popped up. I stickled around the edges and added tiny rhinestones down each side of her lace placket. My buttons are the old fashion type that have metal shanks on the back. I sat at my craft table trying to figure out how I could manipulate them to attach on this card. So I got out my pliers and were able to compress the button so it would lie flat.
I felt that I wanted to take this card to another level. So I created a poem for the inside that I thought would reflect on the theme of the image. It goes like this:
One your Birthday,
Put on your fancy clothes.
Your trinkets and jewelry,
And paint your toes.
It's time to celebrate,
Your special day.
In your own stylish,
Classy, fashionable way.
So bring out the baubles,
Bangles and glitz.
For a Birthday Celebration,
fit for the Ritz!
