91st birthday

I saw a card similar to this in this month's Craft Stamper. Although I didn't have the exact stamps I thought I would try to achieve something similar....So out came my good old faithful swirl stamp and my tapestry stamps that I haven't used for yonks....they provided the foliage which I added to the swirl. I coloured the flower with Marvy pens rubbed onto a tile and then water coloured in pink and a purply blue, added some glitter to the centre of the flower and a little onto the leaves, and used co ordinating ribbons. The lettering and number was achieved by using my 'bug' and some silver glitter paper.

I made a matching insert... this is the front of the insert and instead of black for the swirl etc I used a soft grey and lighter colouring for the flower

I need a 91st birthday card for the end of the month and thought this would be a nice card to send. (At least I remembered to scan it before I send it....I often forget to do that!!!!)
