Have a Fabulous 50th Birthday


This is a card I made for a friends 50th birthday tomorrow.  I used a weekly freebie for watching the Debbi Moore Facebook Live every Thursday evening from 6.30pm.  I used the images and paper from a recent Art Deco freebie.  It was a gorgeous collection and hard to choose but in the end I went with the gold coloured images.

The card I made is a stepper card and I have used three images and a sentiment off the freebie download.  I then cut the numbers "5" and "0" our five times from scraps of the backing paper to make the "5)".  There were also some more scraps from the gold paper and silver card I used so I used a "50" confetti die and cut out quite a lot (well actually a lot) of confetti to fall out of the card when it is opened tomorrow - whoops what a mess!!

Talking of mess.  I decided to add highlights of glitter to parts of the card when I had finished it.  I was oh so careful to check I'd got all the leftover glitter.  Boy was I wrong.  Somehow or other some got behind the feather and when I stood up and moved the card towards the window to check whether I needed anymore glitter anywhere I had a fountain of glitter fall to the fall onto my mat.  What a mess.  Despite vacuuming the mat I can still see glitter on the mat and it seems to be in places throughout the house.  This is why I normally stick to glitter glue but as I have pots of glitter to use up I thought I would but what a mess!!
