Happy BIG Birthday

Happy Birthday to a very special person!

A BIG Birthday deserves a special card,

so here's what I made

I rarely do big cards, this is 8" x 8"

With a LOT of layers,

whisper white, blackberry bliss and brushed gold

I coloured in all the detail using some old glittery pens,

and decoupaged some elements

This is the inside....I was aiming for a 'square',

but this is how it turned out,

added a few random butterflies.

You may notice I've added 'sister' inside.....well my sis's are my friends too,

so artistic licence, plus I love the sentiment and 

didn't want to spoil the front!

Then because it was so bulky, especially with the double coordinating ribbon,

I had to make a box.....that'll teach me to go OTT!!!!

Let's hope she liked it, coz it took nearly a day to make!

I did enjoy it though, and was quietly pleased...

wish you could see it in real life....

By the way, stamp set Fabulous You retired,

AND I had to borrow it from one of my lovely friends!
