Colour and Ink: Happy 40th! Birthday

Happy 40th! Birthday

My SIL asked me to make some cards for her - so this is one I made for a friend's 40th. Her friend is an Accountant and I think the paper is just perfect, it looks like an old maths test!. It is from Cosmo Cricket (the boyfriend range). I made a puffy vintage flower and used a Papertrey Ink button in Ocean Tides, tied with some embroidery floss. Added some pale cream pearls and adhesive numbers that I picked up whilst living in the States.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a great day.
