A Birthday Card

Howdy Everybody!!  Hope you day is being good to you so far.  Mine is okay…… if you don’t mind being reminded how old you are!!

Our oldest Granddaughter is going to be turning “thirteen” next month.  OMGosh a teenager!  She is coming up this weekend and one thing on the agenda is to address party invitations.  I put this one together as a suggestion.

I love these colors – Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight.  They are just so crisp and clean!  Very summery.  I combined them with a little Lucky Limeade and Galypso Coral.  The diamond piece is the Big Top Birthday DSP.

Looking a little closer…

       

See the circle around the “th”?  I made that using my 1/4” circle punch and the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  Did you know the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes is 3/8” in diameter?  Perfect with the 1/4” circle punch.  The numbers were colored with Stampin’ Up watercolor pencils.  For the sentiment, I only used half of the Happy Birthday stamp.  Happy was at the top of the numbers….didn’t think I need to say it twice. *smile*

Inside…

                 

                 

I think it turned out pretty good.  But not sure using the eyes of a soon to be TEENAGER!
