70th Birthday
My Nan asked me to make a 70th birthday card for a friend of hers...so here it is. I decided not to go 'cute', and used my 'Agapanthus Clusters' stamp by Stampendous (again!). I made a background using 'Bundled Sage', 'Tumbled Glass' and 'Faded Jeans' Distress Inks, then stamped the image a couple of times over the top in a mixture of 'Faded Jeans' and 'Chipped Saphire'...spritzing it with a little water before stamping. The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp, and the numbers were cut using my Cuttlebug 'Olivia' alphabet dies.

How thrilled I was to see your card Helen - it's a bit of a crafting joke amongst those I know, as I just adore Stampendous P107.
Sad I know, but I even purchased a second one just in case it is ever discontinued.
A stunning card and thank you so much for sharing with us at Stampalot this month.
