A 30th birthday present and card

It was recently my partner Eric's birthday. He was really hung up on the grave significance of turning 30, so I made sure to make an extra special card to commemorate the occasion.

I made the card using magazine clippings (some from vintage National Geographics), a cellophane bag that was originally used to package a greeting card from a store I used to work at, and a sewing machine to close it at the top.

The note reads from left to right.
