A 65th birthday card

A friend called me last night and asked if I could make her a 65th birthday card (she wanted to support my fundraising for Congo by buying some cards.) So, I made her this card, using this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: ribbon pleating.


I used Papertrey Ink cardstock (vintage cream, hibiscus burst), stamps (stitches & swirls, botanical silhouettes), button & die (quatrefoil cover plate). The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye and the ribbon is Offray. The numbers were cut using my Quickutz Studio dies.

I stamped the backgroud with Stitches and Swirls and selectively inked the sentiments from Botanical Silhouettes (the "TH" is from THANK you.)




Thanks for looking!

    Very beautiful card! Quite clever with the selective stamping. The font is so pretty. I am going to have to use that technique.
