40th Birthday Card

This card was created using Simon Says Stamp

Wide Stripes background stamp, Wplus9 Modern

Numerals, My Favourite Things Blueprints 21, Paper 

Smooches Digits, Doodlebug enamel dots and twine and

Bazzill cardstock.

I stamped the background first to allow it time to dry.  Next 

I die cut the numbers and the sentiment strip.  I heat embossed

the sentiment and then I die cut the background layer using the 

largest die from the Blueprints 21.  I wrapped twine around the

striped layer and then adhered my other elements using foam

tape.  Finally I added a few enamel dots.

I also made a male version using chalk ink and different
colours.
