Firstly, sorry in advance for the difference in colour of the purple on these photos. I used the same sheet of purple card to die cut all the purple elements. 'The camera never lies' is a myth!
I used a Sizzix Circle Flip-its set of dies, which cuts out the basic card shape and the pieces to decorate it. I cut out the purple pieces before embossing them using a Cuttlebug 'Number Collage' embossing folder. I learnt from my mistake a few days ago, when I embossed first and then die cut, squashing the embossing flat! The Happy Birthday is a freebie stamp, stamped with Versafine 'Onyx' and the 'Age is only a Number' is computer generated. I wish I could work out how to get text into a circle on my computer. I think my version of Word is probably too old!
I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:
Great flip card. Love the circle sentiment and the embossed numbers background.

Gorgeous card - and I know all about the camera messing around with the colours, mine fibs to me all the time! I'm sure I once saw a tutorial on making text into a circle, and it was quite a long time ago so wouldn't need the latest version of Word. I'll see if I can find it.

Hi Liz,
ReplyDeletewhat a great card.
I love your fab colour used on this card.
That embossing folder is a very handy one to own too.
Great designing as always, and a wonderful sentiment.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Lovely card . . . I like that verse, too . . . it is so true. Some days I gad about the house and garden and feel so a live and energetic and then I catch my image in the mirror and remember my age, LOL. That might be why I only have mirrors in two rooms. The bathroom and the inside of the closet door . . . :)
