Today my husband and I celebrate our birthdays, and this is the card I made for him. I used a SU! number stamp set to make the "70" with Versamark ink on black, then embossed it with gold embossing powder. I die-cut the rings with Gina Marie Designs stitched ovals and added 2 gold brads. The Birthday Wishes were cut from gold mirror cardstock and die-cut with Gina Marie Designs dies. I placed it on a piece of dsp and put it all on a vanilla cardbase. My husband has always been an avid horse fan, so this year the horse is on the inside with a printed sentiment. I think the milestone birthday number should be the focal element this year :)
I used some new heavyweight vanilla cardstock from SU! to make this card and I really like the thickness of it. It is much sturdier than their regular vanilla, and this is my "NBUS" (Never Before Used Schtuff) that I'm using to enter Darnell's NBUS Challenge #12.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Monday!
