100th Birthday

 Hello Friends . . .

Last week I had a request for a special birthday card.  
The request was for a 'sweet 100 year old Christian lady's birthday'.

I looked around Pinterest for ideas but nothing really struck me so I starting pulling a few things out of my stash and came up with this card ... hope she (and you) like it.

 


 

 I thought a sweet Christian lady would appreciate roses and the Crafter's Companion 'From the Heart' paper pack was perfect.

 Crafter's Companion - 6 x 6 Paper Pad - From The Heart

 I've been a bit 'obsessed' with the Double Vision design style lately so I used that design for today's card.  I thought she might be intrigued by it and it's something 'a little different'.

 

I computer generated the sentiment then die cut it using the Sue Wilson Stitched Flag dies set (CED 4317).  A couple pretty Pink Pearl Pops from Scrapbook.com were added for a look of 'pearls'.

    Scrapbook.com - Pops of Color - Pearl - Bubblegum - 1oz

The inside sentiment is an oldie I found in my stash from the 'Verses Rubber Stamp' company.  And,  I used another sheet from the pack to decorate the inside of my card as well as the envelope flap.

    Oh, Darlene, it's absolutely beautiful and I know she'll love it! The double vision technique makes it extra special. I love how you finished the inside, too, with the smaller message panel over the pretty paper. Nice way to use up a bit more paper. I just ordered two new pads so I should be making an effort, sheesh.
