She asked for a pink card with stripes on the letters and also buttons. No Ribbons!!!! And to be honest I haven't enjoyed making this. I find it hard to follow peoples instructions on cards - I like to make them my own way!
Here is how the card started.
And this is how it finished - I ended up changing the letter 'E' as I thought it looked too big with the other letters.
On the inside she wanted Happy Birthday Mate with the 'M' from Mel to start the word mate!
I edged the letters with my pink ink pad then added some ultra fine glitter.
On the edge with the buttons, I cut a curve so the buttons had something to follow and to give the card a bit of shape. The photo doesn't really show you this. I also threaded a few of the buttons with cerise thread.
Well my friend is picking this up on Saturday, as the lady needs it for Monday. Just hope she likes it!!!!

Again good idea...and so beautiful card! :)
Wonderful card....Im sure the lady in question will love it!
I know what you mean about making cards to instructions, when I have to do it, it kind of kills me creatively, Im far better off just making stuff off my own back,IYKWIM.
The card turned out well. It must be a challenege to create under such precise instructions from the customer.
Love it!!! Love the colour & the design is fab! I'm sure it will be loved too by the lady who ordered it, & 'mel'.
