I made this card for my Mother's 70th Birthday. (An age I'm still trying to get my head around ... LOL!)
The photos aren't that great as I had to take at night ready for mailing out immediately!

The Sketch (which I turned around): The Sweet Stop. Other challenges:
'Distressing': Creative Card Crew.
'New beginnings': Papertake Weekly. I have interpreted this as a new decade of life.
'Glitter or rhinestones': Creative Belli. I have used glitter.
'Feature metal or metal elements': PaperPlay Challenges. I have gold embossing.
'L is for layering': ABC Challenge. I think I have a few of these.
'New': The Craft Garden. I have used new papers and stamp.
Papers: Prima ~ Wink: Arbor Rose and Baby Blues.
I have done a lot of gold embossing on the edges and layering and a bit of machine stitching.
Punch: Fiskars ~ Antique Elegance Circle Border Punch.
I used shaped scissors for cutting the edges of the frame that Tilda is sitting on.
Image and banner (on which I wrote the sentiment): Magnolia from the new collection.
I coloured Tilda with copics and added stickles to give her some sensational sparkle!
Chipboard numbers: Prima. I embossed the edges with gold.
Happy Birthday!
Thank you for looking.
