Pink Birthday Card


I made this card for a life-long friend of mine who celebrated a special birthday recently. I added a paper doily gifted to me by another generous friend and added some SU! stamped elements along with some die cut Impression Obsession numbers and Gina Marie Designs stitched oval and circle dies. The smaller gray circle and scalloped circle beneath it was done with SB dies. I added a die-cut arrow pointing to the number and finished with some pastel pink gemstones. Anyone who reaches the age of 79 deserves to be celebrated! Oh yes, and she still works a full-time job.

I'd like to share this card with the Dies R Us challenge #105 - what's your number? (use a number)

Also sharing with Seize the Birthday challenge - use dies or punches

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!
