80th Birthday Card

I was commissioned to make this 80th Birthday card and at first I just could not come up with any idea's. After much pondering and paper searching I came across a wedding paper pack by K and Company. I know what you are thinking wedding paper for an 80th Birthday not sure!, and you would be right but strangely it seemed to work so I just had to add it to my blog.


It's quite a large card 8x8 inch.
 All of the papers are K&Co with a few scraps from Bazzil. The lace down the side is actually lazer cut paper from Hot of the press. The 80 I stamped using stamps from Cute Companians and embossed in gold. I made the flowers myself using sizzix dies. The tag under to 80 slides out and reads years young. All of the papers have been distressed using Tim Holtz distress ink. To finish off I used glitter and crystals.

Hope you like it
