Today's card is for 2 Challenges; Art Impressions, Big Birthdays and for Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes.
As most of you know my Mom moved to town in May, to a wonderful Assisted Living Place 10 minutes form my home. I am one lucky girl!!! She has made so many new friends and has a great group of people she shares her meals with. Oh the poor thing, yesterday she did not care for her lunch.....I felt bad....until I found out what it was.....Lobster Ravioli.....yeah, such a problem! I am sure she made up for it by having 2 desserts! Anyways one of her new found friends will be celebrating her 90th....yes, I said 90th birthday on August 10th. I don't think a birthday gets much bigger than that!!! I know this woman and I NEVER would have guessed she would be turning that number. She is always dressed to the nines, still drives, and is the only person of 6 at my Mom's table, who does NOT have a walker.....go figure. So this card is for her and my Mom will have everyone at the table sign it.
I used the Art Impressions stamp set, Girlfriends (Beach Babes?) #UM3577, so fun and fabulous, right? What a hoot these gals are! Colored with Copic Markers and I added lots of glitz with different colored Sakura Glitter Pens and Stickles. (hard to see how it shimmers and shines here). I think my Mom and the gals (there is 1 man at their table as well) will get a big kick out of this card. The inside was stamped with the coordinating sentiment, Friends never judge each other...everyone else, however, is fair game. PERFECT!!! With such an image I try to keep it as simple as possible, to let the real beauty (or humor) of the stamp shine through!
Thanks for stopping by, so happy you did!
Enjoy~~
You NAILED this image. I just made one with that stamp for a girlfriend who is getting married - we threw her a little surprise shower. Anyway, great coloring on this. It's a challenge because it requires so many different colors. LOVE the sentiments that come with it. I believe you used one for my card. Really great card my dear. Your mom is gonna love giving this one.
