Ninety Years Young!

My BFF's mother is celebrating a very special birthday today,

she is turning 90 years!

I was asked if I would make her a card,

so after a bit of thinking and checking what colours to use,

this is it finished.

I started with a square white card base,

and cut a square mat from patterned paper to fit.  

To make it just a little different, I used a border punch on the top left and bottom right sides,

then tucked some co-ordinating paper behind both these borders.

Next I cut the window and bricks from some foiled patterned paper

  using a Kaisercraft die.

I really liked the randomness of colour this created, 

a perfect contrast for the background.

I don't use flowers very often on my cards,

however, the flowers I did have, all co-ordinated with each other perfectly along with some ribbon that I had recently purchased.  

A couple of die cut butterflies and  the number 90th were all that was needed

to finish it off.

I made a box from white card and tied the same ribbon around it,

along with a little tag.

From what I hear, this lovely lady had a very happy 90th birthday,

celebrating with a family luncheon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Crafting!
