Sixty is Glitzy

Our sweet teammate Carol has come up with a fun challenge for Just Us Girls #779 for Word Week: Number. Use some sort of a number on your card. It could mean number of years old, anniversaries, a year, a date, etc. The design team has come up with a good variety of ideas for your inspiration. For fun, I went with a rhyming phrase for one of the birthdays that end in a zero.





Products I used:

Simon Says Stamp - Monstera stencil set

Alex Syberia - Foxtrot Alphabet die set

The Greetery - Postal Frames rectangle die

Distress Oxide ink pad

Distress ink pad

Silver and white glitter card stocks

Rhinestones

My card has a "glitzy" white glitter background and silver glitter letters for the sentiment and I added a few rhinestones for even more sparkle. To keep with the festive feel, I used bright, happy, pink inks for the monstera leaf. Don't you think the post office should make some cheerful stamps this summer with elements of the season?

So, make a card for someone that has a number on it for our challenge and we will see you in the gallery!

How clever are you to showcase number through a word rather than the numeral. A delightful card to celebrate a glitzy 60!

I'm not quite there yet Carol but this will be the next milestone celebrated by my close friends and I, so this is one I'll be saving - and hoping mine's glitzy too!
