For a 'Special Aunt'

Over the weekend I had the absolute pleasure celebrating

a huge milestone birthday for my husband's Aunt.

She has turned '90' and is still so full of life laughing and living.

I may add that her sister who is 93 is doing the same!

It was a huge family get together and was such a happy

day with the weather  - just perfect.

 

 

Of course I had to make a special card and went with

soft colours and the beautiful stamp set from Altenew

Beautiful Day. I hope I did it justice.

 I chose the top left inspiration photo
(Double D Challenge below)
 as my feature point being floral. The colour of my flower
is not the same as the photograph but the smaller flowers
do have a touch of apricot blending in.

My new stamp positioning  tool came in so handy

as I stamped the images all at once.

I did stamp a second one and die cut it to

add on top for dimension.
I inked up my rose with various coloured inks
and touching it up with metallic water colour paints
which has given it a lovely sheen.
The centre of the flower has been dotted with
a white uniball.
Sentiment is also from this stamp set.
Added a piece of mulberry paper to the side
some pearls and corner rounded to finish.

I am going to join in the Birthday Celebrations over at
Double D Challenges for their  Anniversary Celebration



and Seize the Birthday
for their Anything Goes Birthday



That's it for this time round.
Thanks for dropping in.
I love reading your comments by the way!
