The theme for this fortnight on the Allsorts Challenge has been chosen by Lynn and she is asking for **Feminine Projects** and of course there is the *Anything Goes* option. Prizes this time will be from Stamp Addicts.
For my DT card I have a 100th birthday card to share and I thought such a milestone deserved a larger card than I normally make. This was a commission and I was told that the lady loved pretty colours and flowers. For many years she was a member of a Patchwork Group so I thought that the background paper was very appropriate and then I set about finding toning colours for the layers and the flowers. All of the white elements were cut using some pearlescent card; the flowers were cut using dies from two sources and arranged around the central numbers.
Background Paper - from a selection of 12" papers which I've had for a long time
Decorative Layers - Die set from Tonic, probably no longer available
Flowers - Dies from Creative Expressions and Spellbinders
Numbers - dies from Amazon (possibly Globeland)
A beautifully feminine card for a very special Birthday, I am sure the recipient will love it.

Hi Val
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a very special milestone birthday card .. .. you just know it is going to be kept for always. Beautiful colours and dies all put to excellent use.
I too had to make a "big card" this week. Very rare for me as it was 8" x 8" .. .. not a size I feel comfortable with .. .. .. for me the smaller the better LOL!!!
Hope you have a good weekend.
Love Jules xoxo
