This is the 60th birthday card I made for our special friend Gill who loves bright colours. It was an absolute joy to make this card for her! Here is the card and envelope together.
I made a 5 1/2" square Coastal Cabana card base and adhered a mat layer of Melon Mambo CS. I used pretty stamps from the SU! 'Beautiful Friendship' set and Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Melon Mambo inks. After stamping the flowers, leaves and sentiment I cut the Whisper White square using a wonky stitches square die. I stamped flowers and leaves on a scrap of Whisper White CS and cut out the 60 numbers. Usually I cut several numbers out and stack them together for dimension but I bought some SU! Foam Adhesive Sheets and I cut one set of numbers with a piece of the foam adhesive sheet and I got dimensional numbers immediately, fab! I finished off the front with some Gilded Gems and a generous spritz of Champagne Mist shimmer spray.
Here's a closer look at the numbers.
Here's the inside of the card.
Here's the envelope. I thought stamping the 'Friends like you mean more every year' was a sweet finishing touch!
