Just a quick card from me today. I made this card for a friend of mine called Bhavana (aka Baz) who turned 50 a few weeks ago. 

Baz is a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator and part of the Pinkies team I belong to so I just had to make her a hand stamped handmade card. I hope she had a lovely week of celebrations!

I wanted to stamp my own background using the stars from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set and after several attempts I decided on this sideways ombre effect using Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum & Wisteria Wonder. I love this effect and can't wait to use it again!

I then die cut stars in Vellum, Silver Glimmer Paper and Silver Foil Sheet and layered them together before add the number 50 die cut from Perfect Plum cardstock using the Large Numbers Framelit Dies. I popped this up using Stampin' Dimensions, stamped Happy Birthday inside the card and my card was finished. I really hope Baz liked it!
