I immediately thought of my mom who has a big birthday coming up in October! The big 75 and it worked perfect for the number challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week and I used some elements from the pick challenge over at festivefridaychallenge.com I picked white, pearls, die cuts, and leaves. I really wanted some bling and there were several sheets of the retired Blushing Bride glimmer paper (at least I think it is Blushing Bride). I decided to pair it with Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot card stock and a white base. I ran the piece of Blushing bride card stock through the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. I cut a white Encircled In beauty large die and popped it on the background. I cut the glitter paper with the retired Large Numbers dies and the Artistic dies. I cut apart the leaves and did not punch out the detail on the leaves. I liked them solid. I also cut some white small leaves from the Nature's Thoughts dies to add. I stamped the 'th' and the sentiments on white card stock from the retired Number of Years set in Merry Merlot ink. I cut them with the Floral Gallery scallop label dies. I finished it off with some pastel pearls. Hope you have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!
