30

Hi there 🙂 It was recently my son’s birthday. How did he get to be 30 already?!?!?!?! I think he’s wondering the same thing! I wanted to make a special card for him, and thought of a shaped 30. I got out some of my templates, and created the card base, overlapping the numbers, so there’d be more writing room on the inside. I’ve had a pad of paper for years, that has all kinds of fabric prints in masculine tones and patterns. I cut the numbers out of some of these, and layered them onto the base. I then used a couple of pens to add stitching along the edges. I die cut numerous banner shapes from the printed paper, and some with a stamped sentiment. After arranging them on some twine that I’d draped across the front of the card, I added some silver embellishments and some twine bows at the ends. A few more silver embellishments on the number finish this off. I’m so pleased that my son loved his card <3

I’d like to enter this in the following:
