HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY

Good morning, I almost did not get out of bed this morning, I stuck my head out from under the covers and got a blast of cold air. I just wanted stay where it was nice and toasty. But, I remembered that I wanted to get this card posted before leaving for work and I had to brave the cold and turn on the heat. So, here I am. My card today was by request from a co-worker for another co-worker who is turning 60 the day after Christmas. She wanted the card to be special and to incorporate things that 59 year old liked to do. Well, she is a hunter and loves motorcycles. Yeah, she is a biker chick. So I had plenty of time to think about this card and finally had an idea. Why don't I show the card now and then tell you about it. I really need to keep this short.

I love Bugaboo Stamps, Jodie is a wonderful artist and Stella is one of my favorite characters. And this just fit so well, with what I needed. The image is colored with copics E00, E11, E50, E31, E25, E09, E18, R24, R27, spica glitter pens, red, orange, gold and silver.



The card stock is Bazzill, the hounds tooth ribbon is from Hobby Lobby, it was used because the birthday girl is a huge University of Alabama fan and the hounds tooth is one of their symbols (why doesn't that word look right spelled that way?) The sheer ribbon on the envelope is from my stash. The envelope is made from Bazzill card stock also. The DP with the numbers is from a DCWV black and white pack that has been on my shelf for a long time and I have never used any paper out of it before.. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the layer under Stella with the swirl folder. The paper on the inside of the card is from Tuesday Morning. I don't remember who makes, but I have been hoarding it for a long time. I love the paper was not able to get any more. Then I go and mess of a couple of sheets trying to make and envelope. You know I will still be using what is left.

The inside side of the card I made up the sentiment at top of left page. The hunting gear is from Jolie, I typed the labels on the computer and the motorcycle set is from ?? I will have to check because I through away the packaging. The birthday sentiments are from a $1 set of stickers that I bought in the clearance isle at Hobby Lobby last week. Well, that is it for the card. And I can tell you that every one who has seen it, loved it.  And you know now there will be challenges.
