Not Too Flashy For A Big Birthday,

My husband had a "Big" birthday last week, struggling with making just the right card, I remembered a card I had "Pinned" some time ago. As luck would have it, I had also received the most perfect die for my birthday a few weeks back, putting them both together and mixing them up a bit, here is what I came up with. A bit of paperpiercing, a bit of fake stitching some die cutting and glittered numbers.



My fave bit in real life is the tiny doodle stitched hearts that are only stuck in the middle so  pop up slightly from the rest.

 I tried taking a decent photo of them up close but it makes it look a bit dodgy :(



I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
TKJ146, Use any sketch,
CFAS65, Stitching,
FnF193, Anything goes,
CYP188, Doodling,
MIM166, Anything goes,
OLLCB, Stitching.

Thanks for stopping by,
Julie.x

    This is fabulous, love the design and the colours, must admit only just only just spotted the age.
    Thanks for your comment on the S.N's don't think I will bother with them.

    This is such a beautiful clean design, Julie! It has a great romantic feel to it with the border of hearts. Love the little detail of the stitched heart! I spotted your card on MIM.

    Thanks Julie - would you believe I have that die too! I hadn't thought of using like this though! Thank you for the inspiration. It will be for my husbands 50th too! I've been trying to work out a card to give him, and something similar to this will be perfect! Thank you! Hope you have a good weekend. x

    I absolutely love the simple elegance of this card. Makes such a change to see a card for a man that doesn't have cars or sport featured. Love the stitched hearts. Thanks for joining in with our stitching challenge at Ooh La La creations.
