A Special Birthday

Today's card is one I was asked to make for an ex-colleague who now lives and runs a hotel in the IOW. She left a few years ago but there are still several of us who remember her and still a fair few who go and visit her quite regularly. It needed to be quite large so we could all sign it and it ended up being an A5 card.
I used a white card blank along with Smoky Slate cardstock and ink - teamed up with Raspberry Ripple. The background is stamped with the lovely Hardwood stamp and the sentiment is from Memorable Moments, cut with a Labels Collection Framelit and matted onto a larger framelit. The larger flowers are Petite Petals punched with the co-ordinating punch and the small ones are from Banner Blast, punched with an Itty Bitty punch, with a few leaves from the Bird Builder punch. I added the recipients name which was cut out with the now retired Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies and the ribbon is Basic Grey Taffeta (also retired!)

Thanks for stopping by
