Happy Birthday Mom
By Paris Dukes
Add a silver cord to your collaged card for a beautiful accent—laying
the cord along the lines of the paper makes it look just like a wrapped
present. You can easily hang your birthday sentiments from the cord as
well, and top with a sheer shoestring bow for an elegant, sophisticated
look. This simple, but beautiful card looks like a gift in itself.
