I just do not know where time goes, it seems to fly past with at least double the speed it used to... It's been almost a month since my last blog post and I thought it was only a few days... Oh well, I'm here now with a new card :) I was asked to make a birthday card for a lady turning 40 and this is what I came up with. I chose to use this gorgeous 'Tiger Lily' by Penny Black as I think it's stylish and elegant enough for a " milestone" birthday card, yet it also has "young vibe" to it (as opposed to roses, for example). Anyways, I coloured it with my Copics and fussy cut it out. I die cut the little frame in the background and attached the flower on top of it with some foam adhesives for a little extra interest. The background paper is by Lili of the Valley, the numbers and sentiment (it says 'Congrats' in Finnish) are peel-off stickers, and as embellies there are some sequins. Hope the recipient liked the card!

* Penny Black and More Challenge: October Challenge - Warm Autumn Colours (used in the flower)
