This time it’s a 70th birthday!!

A very, very old friend (not in age but in years of friendship!!)is having her 70th birthday next week.  Actually I have known her all my life – her grandmother was a friend of my grandfather and the two families have kept in touch ever since.  Just a mere youngster lol   As usual I got my days mixed up so she received her card and present a week early.

I wanted the numbers to dominate the card, and they sure did!  In fact it didn’t leave any room for more feminine embellishments so hope it didn’t look too ‘masculine’ for her.  I bravely used Melon Mambo and Elegant Eggplant for the cardstock with the numbers and ribbon in silver.  I say bravely, because I am not known for bold colours in my cards but felt I really need to splash out and become more flamboyant.  Note the pinning around the edge of the Melon Mambo.

Happy Birthday Janice for next week.  Hope you have a good one.
