Welcome! Today I am sharing a special card that I created for my Mother's 99th Birthday that is later this month. I made a similar card for her a couple years ago and she loved it so I thought I would repeat my design by adding some more candles and also the Happy Birthday song. I used Photoshop Elements to create the pages with text and candles and then added dots and strips of glitter paper and used Diamond Stickles for glitter on each of the 99 Candles. That took a bit of time. The front with 3 candles was attached to a Pink CS and then I attached 8 pages with 12 candles each printed on white CS. The Happy Birthday song lyrics and music was printed across the bottom of the pages to which I added glitter dots.
The card fits these challenges:
Allsorts Challenge: Week # 502 Milestones with Numbers
Cards In Envy: It's all about the numbers challenge. This card is less than 1/4", actually 1/8" so it does fit into an envelope.
Make My Monday Challenge: #87 Use Words or Sentiment.
Use Your Stuff: Challenge 342 As Time Goes By. 99 years is a lot of time gone by!
Crafty Catz: #444 Anything Goes with Optional Twist Birthdays
Photos below show the card as it appears opening.
Have a great day! I love reading your comments.
