Happy 90th Birthday Nan

I created this card  for one of my son's to give to my Mum for her 90th Birthday, I have made two - they can decide which one they give her!

I used one of Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew Decoupage Sheets, this one is from the Autumn collection but Mum loves purple and green so I decided to use it even though her Birthday is in the summer.  The pretty floral papers are from the Hunkydory Birth Flowers Collection.

The pretty die cut edge is a Sue Wilson die and the numbers are Tonic dies.

Happy 90th Birthday Mum

This is the card that I have made for my Mum for her 90th Birthday, I have used the Hunkydory Birth Flowers Collection.

I decided to emulate the circle design of the main image and create two smaller circular elements for the sentiment and age.  I used a variety of circle dies and patterned papers from the collection along with some gold mirror card.

I added two bows using ribbon from my stash and used one of the inserts from the collection to decorate the inside of the card.

It's not her birthday for another couple of weeks but I am quite safe to share this as she doesn't do technology.
