I had a good friend at school and although she left our home town of Rushden before she finished our comprehensive school we always kept in touch - so much so she was my bridesmaid in July 1991.
Today it is a special day as it is her 50th birthday. She is going away to New York with her family for her 50th so I knew which CD I would use to make this card and it was Debbi Moore's Glitter and Glitz New York CD 1 and CD2.
The card is A5 and is a concertina card with four sides on each side, if you know what I mean.
For the card I have used backing papers, decoupage, toppers and design sheets from the CD. I think the card took 10+ hours to make with cutting out the decoupage/toppers etc and then it was planning what would go on each page with trying to work out the decoupage images being spread about so the card didn't turn out too fat.
For the front of the card I used some of my New York stamps. For the "50 TODAY" I cut these out 8 times for each number/letter and layered them up and inked around the edges. It was quite a tedious job but it makes them look like MDF.
I have finished the card off quite simply with ribbon, sentiments and Papermania glitterations.
I shall keep my fingers crossed my friend likes her card.
