As our neighbor quietly turned 70 a few weeks ago, he made his wife promise no parties. But seriously, who can let a major milestone of 70 pass without some sort of gathering and sharing of a meal? The three couples anxiously awaited his arrival for dinner while his wife worked diligently to keep the surprise and get him there without delay.
As they rounded the corner and we started to sing our sincerest Happy Birthday Jim!, he calmly turns and says to his blushing bride, 'We'll talk about this later." ... and the laughter roars!
Of course I had to make a card - it's expected right? I selected three images for this special occasion - the Scooter Turtle from Beccy's Place, The Slow Lane, the background from Angie Blom's Digital Designs, Dream Big Mountains and the sparkling cake inside from Penny Black, Delectable.
Inside
All of the images were printed on Neenah 110# card stock and colored with my Copic markers. I used a swirly embossing folder for the solid orange background on the front of the card. The next layer is the background layer from Angie Blom Digital Designs. Then the turtle is fussy cut and glued onto the background with this head and upper body raised with foam dots. The Happy Birthday is attached on the right corner then the sentiment is added at the top corner.
Inside I added the Penny Black multi-layered cake that is also colored with Copic markers and highlighted with Stickles. The card was a lot of fun to make using the different stamps and added to the surprise of the party.
