Hello Everyone
Not everyone likes their birthday number right on the front of a card but when I set out to make a card to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday, I was sure that she wouldn’t mind at all. When I make a card for someone I tend to focus on one stamp company that I design for so it allows me to create the card with the person in mind but also double it up as a DT sample. For this card I didn’t do that, instead I mixed Darkroom Door with Oxford Impressions for this feminine birthday card.The numbers are from a fabulous Oxford Impressions set of Distressed Numbers. I couldn’t resist glittering up the numbers!
I will tell you that I was stuck when it came to making this card. It was taking me forever to decide which stamp to use and without being aware of it I had obviously made a decision to feature numbers on the card front. It was only when I was tidying away the recent Darkroom Door sample I shared with you HERE, a canvas with a stamped paperclay rose that I had that moment of “ding!” I know which stamp to use ….. the elegant rose stamp which also featured on that same canvas.
Thank you for your visit to my first post of this brand new week and the final week of November!
(The title for this post might seem strange. It relates to my friend as she lives in France and for the French script which was stamped randomly and repeatedly on the background.)
Wishes
Lynne

Absolutely love this wonderful 50th birthday card for your friend, Lynne!! It’s fun and feminine and who doesn’t love glittery and sparkly digits, no matter the ‘meaning’ of the numbers themselves 🙂 The edging of lace on the top and bottom of the card is so sweet–you always think of the tactile delights your embellishments give, Lynne!! Happy Birthday to your Friend and Happy Monday to You!! XOXO-Shari

A very pretty card. I love the way you’ve kept the background soft and feminine and then given the numbers some ‘razzamataz’

What a lovely card Lynne… These Numbers stamps are perfect I think, especially with Glitter on them like that combined to the delicate rose. Hope you are well and not too cold… or too busy as very often ! 🙂 Hugs, Coco xxx

This is the most beautiful, feminine, and elegant birthday card, for your friend, dearest Lynne. I also don`t mind the numbers shown ,if it had been me,- and in this very gorgeous way, of glittered numbers together with the rose ,on the wonderful cream and salmon background ,they create a very festive sight.
I hope your weekend was lovely dear friend of mine.
Hug and xx

Such a pretty and feminine card and the rose goes perfectly with those vintage numbers. It’s nice when one can combine different stamp sets and find that that they complement each other perfectly as these do. I’m sure your friend will love this card, Lynne. xxx
