40TH BIRTHDAY CARD

One of my mates rang me earlier tonight to see if I could make a card for her. One of her friends will be 40 on Saturday (last minute as usual). She let me know that her friend likes pinks and browns and I knew straight away what paper I would use.



Last year I made a card for a friend on a forum for her 30th and lucky enough i had a piccy of it on my computer. It is near the same as this one, except that it said 30 and I also used brads. So this turned out to be a quick card to make as i had something to follow!


I used my computer once again to print off the 40, cut the numbers out and covered it with the paper, then cut it out again. I inked the edges with my brown chalk pad (love that ink pad), added some ribbons, some flat backed gem stones and attached it to the card with sticky fixers. The card is 13.5cm x 13.5cm. I have the insert to do, but that can wait till tomorrow.

The papers are DCVW Adhesive Paper Prints.
