My girlfriend and I are both 80 this weekend and her favorite colors are green and purple. A side-fold card made of mint green with an offset purple layer, added another layer in green at a reverse angle. Die-cut my matching purple headline into 4 glued-together layers at the top. Stamped my numbers and added a purple gel pen accent, "th" after numbers. Used 2 pieces of a 3D sticker. Made a pot for the flowers from a brown distressed print paper. This pattern was a CAS design I saved and this was a perfect card to do it on as my friend loves "different!" Cut and fold my own cards.

Happy Birthday, Betty. An important milestone. You made an exquisite and thoughtful birthday card for your friend. The hydrangeas are lovely and the bit of gem sparkle is so pretty. Your friend will treasure it.
