70th Birthday

We went to a family birthday lunch today and yesterday evening I realised that I hadn't made a card!  Looking through my ready made cards, I had nothing suitable.  So I grabbed a a few things and this quick and easy card is what I came up with.

The recipient used to be a publican, so this Digi Stamp Boutique digi stamp, which I'd already printed, was perfect.  I coloured the image with Promarkers and layered it on a beige mat.  The sentiment was already printed too and I layered it and raised it up on foam pads.  The patterned paper was from a Dovecraft 'True Blue' paper pad.  Five Card Candi finished off my card.  We had a lovely lunch and as we left our house in the middle of a power cut, we were glad to be eating out.

    Glad you enjoyed the birthday lunch Liz and love the image and pretty papers to go with it, and a perfect choice for an ex publican. I hope the power was back on by the time you got back home. x
