I have a friend at work that is turning the big 5-0 this Thursday. She's a real cutie, and I wanted to make something special for her.
My starting point was this week's color challenge in The Play Date Cafe. Scrumptious, I tell you.
I started by stamping the Circle Lace stamp from Hero Arts for my pop of yellow - not too much, but definitely part of the design. Then I stamped one of the backgrounds from Text It, a favorite of mine when I want a little something.
I used Tim Holtz's Paper Rosette die as the base for my little award ribbon and then dusted off my Slice (Vintage Findings design card) to cut the numbers out. Then I glittered those babies up, because its a 50th birthday card, and glitter makes everything more special! The little polka dot banners are from the Bitty Banners set.
I pieced some words to finish my phrase - 'Fabulous' is from PTI's Say It With Style. I like to attach things like this a little wonky.. I think it adds a little whimsy.So there you have it! A card for my fifty and fabulous friend!
Nice to see you here today, tomorrow it is challenge day for Serendipity. Have a great one!
