A Fancy Birthday Card

So I'm making lots of birthday cards....it seems everyone I know was born in August. I also just got some really fun new stamps so I had to ink them up and play a bit. I was going for a fancy look with this paper pieced card.
This one took me most of the day so I will have to increase my speed if I'm going to get all these cards done.

Proverbs 16:20 ~ "Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust in the Lord will be joyful!"
Blessings to you!

    Nancy, Whoever receives this card is one lucky person! Pink and green are my fave color combo and they look so elegant with the black! Love that frame! Looks very pretty surrounding the fancy main image! Are they presents, a cake, or is it a cake made of presents? I've always wondered, but it doesn't matter....they are so pretty! :)
