Birthday Gal card


I made a couple cards for some friends birthdays and this was my creation. The oval is cut with Nestabilites circle...hint (note to self) make sure you put the CUT side up on the Wizard spacer plate....double check! Don't ask...it happens. The image is from I Brake for Stamps and I colored it with a blender pen and chalks. I used diamond glaze on the balloons and set it aside to dry while I worked on the rest. All paper is SU, I used barely banana for the card base and the layer under the white image. I used perfect plum and my circle nestie for the bottom layer and the old olive emblishments were cut with a Wizard die too. The tag is from a punch and the flowers are from a bunch that I picked up at Hobby Lobby and tore apart. I mounted them with eyelets. The ribbon is from Dollar Tree. It's amazing the things you can find there. Oh, and the greeting inside reads: "We're not old, we're recycled teenagers." I love that! The picture doesn't really do it justice but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Sorry I wrote a load of rubbish the first time, so had to delete it. You would be more than welcome to come and stay the next time you are over here. But I can't find your email to contact you.
Love the card, especially the little old lady, and the wizard tip of course.
