1950s Themed 60th Birthday Card

For this card I used cream pearl card for the base and My Mind's Eye backing paper. I did a Google search for images of 1950s advertisements and comics and  I matted the images onto Bazzill cardstock and used foam pads to stick some of them down for a layered effect.

The wording is printed on the computer and finally added some card candi.

60th Birthday Card

A 60th birthday card for a neighbour's husband. I used cream pearl card for the card base, the image and backing paper is from Debbi Moore's Shabby Chic Garden CD.

 The sentiment is from the Jane Shasky CD from Joanna Sheen, mounted onto green Bazzill cardstock. I stamped the numbers with brown ink and embossed with clear embossing powder and cut out with a Spellbinders die, the flowers are punched from the backing paper, scrunched up, inked and with card candi added to the centres.

The image is mounted onto Bazzill card cut out with a Spellbinders die, and I tied garden twine down the side of the card.  The card also has a matching insert, but I forgot to photograph that.

The envelope to go with the card, also from the Shabby Chic Garden CD.
