I added the dotted rectangle from Mix & Mat: Flourishes die & backed the center of the classic kraft with white cardstock. Corner Adorner: February was die cut & stamped in Versafine Claire Pinecone, Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy & PTI Harvest Gold. I stacked the flower 3 high & added Stickles to the center. The sentiment is from Wreath for All Seasons & I added the little dots from Corner Adorner in white pigment ink. Lots of interest to my eye, yet it's still flat for mailing. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
You know me--can't miss PTI Transformation Tuesday. So honored to have one of my previous entries included in the PTI Newsletter. This time I went clear back to 2012. It's a card with the Copic background technique I learned from Nicole Heady.

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
The Kraft colour works so well with the red polka dot underneath and the corner trim adds a touch of elegance to your birthday card. The makeover is stunning too, although I like the original one as well. Lovely work.
