Hello there! Today I´m sharing a birthday card idea in a square format for a 60th birthday.

The card was supposed not to be all flowers, pink and cute for this recipient, so I went into a totally different direction with this one. The format is a square for a change and the colors and hues of blues.

I chose a playing card as my focal point for this card with the hidden meaning of a “birthday queen”. I framed the playing card with a chipboard sticker frame that fit the card size perfectly. I also inked it with light blue and brown Distress Oxide inks to add some patina to the frame.

I had some round glitter dot stickers in my stash, so I added a few to the frame. A while ago I had played with a misted tissue paper and heat embossed stamp images. I took the leaf images and added them as a cluster to the left bottom corner of the frame. On top some clear sticker words from Studio Forty to add to the theme and a chipboard 6 and 0 very prominent on the bottom corner for finish off the card.

I hope the “birthday queen” is happy with her special card!!
xx, Sanna
