I made two cards for today's Inspiration Challenge - thanks Steph for hosting and giving us such a great site to look through!
My church fair is coming up and 2 friends and I sell cards at it - and there's always someone who asks if we have a funny card for someones older milestone birthday (30,40,50,60?!) and we never have made them.
In looking through the Victorian Trading site in the Halloween section - I came upon this tombstone cakelets pan.
I was going to make a Halloween card with the Haunted Headstones set from PTI - but they also have a Haunted Headstones Sentiments set that is all about those milestone birthdays and so I made an 'over the hill' birthday card instead that will be great for the fair. You can add specific numbers (30,40,50, 60) but this sentiment will serve for any birthday.
The rolling hills in the graveyard are created with the stitched landscape dies from Poppy stamps. I stamped over the hills with a crackle background stamp, not sure if you can see it - but it gives a little texture to them. I also stamped it over the gravestone - both in Soft Stone Ink.
You'll see my other card next to this one in the gallery!
Back to my craftroom to make up a few more of these for the fair!

You are so funny!!! This one is awesome too!!! I don't think I would have ever thought of creating gray hills, but that is being tucked away as a future idea!!!
