Birthday Card with Lights

 



Today I also wanna show you this gorgeous birthday card I made for one of my clients that is turning 85. It is an interactive card and has lights and it actually works. I saw these card and just tried to make one myself and this is the result.

I used some digital paper and cut out the circle. I then added a text circle which says Happy Birthday that was made with a die of Marianne Design. I taped vellum behind the circle. I then added the fairy lights on the inside and taped the part with the battery to the right lower side of the card next to where that arrow is placed. I added layers of foam tape until the heigh was the same as the battery pack of the fairy lights. I then attach all the wires with scotch tape and then added the whole thing to a card base.
To decorate it I add the flowers that I also made myself and some twigs with a Martha Stewart punch.

I will be entering this card in the following challenge:
CD Sunday Plus #153 - Anything Goes
Cut It Up #325 - Happy Birthday
Just Us Girls #765 - Birthday

Till next time
