Welcome
The original of this card was made some years ago, and then languished, as it was larger than a usual square card ... (I am sure it was a DT card, but I cannot find the post)
The image is a digi, and is on an old hard drive that I cannot currently access. I had originally coloured it in pencil, and then had added WoS, but it had lost it's shine. I was still happy with the decoupage element of the panel, so wanted to use it...
Surgery time!!
I cut down the original yellow base to a more manageable size, and curved the bottom right corner.
To restore the shine I painted the roses with Iridescent medium.
Having trimmed off the original Thanks sentiment, I then stamped and gold embossed a Happy Birthday sentiment on the feature panel, and then found some matching pearls to add to the curved corner
I then mounted the altered panel onto a deep blue cardstock with a shimmer to it, and layered two gold ribbons over the base to balance the card
I add some floral yellow washi to the inside, and rounded the corners on the right side of the card to tie in with the curved panel element.

Great restoration of this beautiful card Maxine. The shine and the 3D decoupage looks so pretty and a fabulous design too x.
