90th birthday card


It's my Auntie's 90th birthday today!
We are going to the tea party to celebrate the occasion this afternoon and this is the card I've made for her.


I covered the numbers with paper & inked the edges for definition.



I added the flowers & the leaves. the leaves are punched & the ivy leaves inked over the white card to show the embossed veins.


The opposite corner has the ribbon bow, pearl strands & the hat pin which I added coordinating beads to.

Sorry i've not been around the blogs much, i'm always rubbish like that. I will try harder this year though. :)

Take care and Happy New Year to you and hubby. :)

Thanks folks :-)

Love the hat pins, they come plain so you can choose your own way of decorating - I cut this one down as it was too long for where I wanted it :-)
