Romancing The Swirl Inspiration | Happy Birthday Card with Elena

Hi dear friends! Elena Salo is here again with another portion of inspiration. This time I'm honored to play with Romancing The Swirl collection by my favorite designer Becca Feeken. Every die from her collection is so unique, womanly and delicate! This time she created twelve amazing sets and I really couldn't decide which one I'd like to use first, because they all are so beautiful. So I've chosen two sets for my first project and these are S5-366 A2 Swirl Background and S4-930 Curvy Labels. As usual, I created two cards with the dies:

I used white cardstock to create card bases for the first card and grey for the second one:

Instructions:

Die-cut one panel out of silver cardstock and two more out of white cardstock using S5-366 A2 Swirl Background die. Adhere them together for the additional thickness.

Create a card base that is slightly larger than the panel. Adhere the panel onto the card base.

Die-cut two labels using Curvy Labels dies. Die-cut the bigger label out of silver cardstock and the smaller one out of white cardstock.

Stamp the sentiment onto the white label and add pearls onto the panel.

Later I decided to add some leaves which I die-cut out of the same silver cardstock using the leaf die from S5-364 A2 Corner Cotillion set.
