The border was made in two parts. First, I cut and embossed a strip of purple paper using a Spellbinders Edgeability die. Then I took a white grosgrain ribbon and stamped "Celebrate" all the way along it in purple ink. I wanted the "party!" and "birthday wishes" of the background to be seen, so ran these at an angle between them.
To make the card, I used a couple of tricks that may not be readily apparent. First, my focal sentiment was cut from the background piece of cardstock and then matted to cover up the hole! Because I wanted the angle to mimic the angle of the border, this resulted in the focal being a bit higher on the card than I would have liked. So, I added a bow with LONG tails to help pull it into the card more.
