Mum's 80th Birthday

My sister called me and asked if I would make a card for Mum as she will be 80 in March.  I thought I would combine this with the Bearly-Mine Challenge #1 - A Sketch for the New Year.  This is the sketch of the layout required.  I have moved the flowers to the bottom and added the 80 to the top.  Also, into the Catch the Bug Challenge for embossing on the card.




I used a 8x8 craftworks white card blank and covered it in paper from Dovecraft's Back to Basic 12x12 stack.  I cut all the shapes including the 80 on my Cricut.  I decoupaged a stargazer lily, my sister had asked for lilies, and used Glossy Accents on flower.  The scalloped circle is embossed on my Cuttlebug.

I hope you like it.
