I had another 50th birthday card to do this week, and have used it for my PaperPlay DT entry, which this week is to "use a stamp and some bling". We are sponsored this week by Stitchy Bear Stamps, the prize being 4 of their digital images. Right, on to business, here's my card:
Excuse slightly blurry image, I took the pictures in a wild hurry before leaving for school, and had to hand the card over there so couldn't re-take. I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday (lovely to work with it was too!), and I'm also entering this on Crafty Angels (1 ribbon, 2 papers, 3 flowers - my papers have at least three flowers!), Simon Says Stamps (Birthdays/Celebrations) and Bunny Zoes Crafts (3 flowers, 2 papers, 1 ribbon or lace).
The lady who is getting this card, although she's Irish, lives in Finland, so I went with a slightly Scandi vibe with the colours on this card. I did try to put three actual flowers on it, but the papers are so very busy, they were practically invisible, so I didn't use them, and decided that there are enough flowers on the papers to fulfill any flowery requirement!!! The tag has Happy 50th Birthday on one side, and "Marion" on the other with some blingy bling. I've also blinged the image, put stickles on her collar and gems on the little sticky-out bits of her dress - here's a close-up:
Recipe:
Stamp: "Poinsettia Girl" by Leanne Ellis for Sugar Nellie
Papers: Cosmo Cricket "Early Bird"
Colouring Medium: Distress Inks
Other: Ribbon, Stardust Stickles, Hero Arts Gems, Scalloped Oval Nestabilities, needle & thread
Thanks for looking!

I would love this card wish I was 50 again. The image is beautiful and the papers compliment it perfectly. Don't you just hate it when the card is stunning and the photo doesn't do it justice.
Thanks for sharing with us at Crafty Angels.

I love this card Julie. The recipient will be really happy with it I am sure. All the glittery details are so cute.
I am on the hunt for some Microbeads. Looking at the US websites makes me weep. The choice over there for crafting is SO SO amazing. Hope you are keeping well. Will have you over to look at the cakes as soon as summer comes the the dreaded Leaving Cert is over :)
Hugs, Carol xoxox
