Creating a handmade card is a wonderful way to show someone you care. If you’re looking for inspiration, the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club set “Balloons and Birthday Wishes” features a banner that can be customized with flowers and balloons, as well as a variety of sayings from which to choose. I used the same color combination on both cards with one featuring the balloons and the other flowers.
A dark purple banner with gold letters creates an elegant and stylish look. The dark purple makes the text stand out.
