The Golden Years: A Happy Birthday Card

Hello everyone!   April is here and so is spring! Life is good! We hope you enjoy your spring!

I have been busy at work but in between I have been able to craft a bit! it has been nice. My mom and I have found a few new challenges and more of the ones we do! Its been fun to try new things and to just craft!

It seems to be a birthday theme this weekend for us. The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is all about Birthdays and its my Dad's Birthday weekend! So Lots of birthday cards. 

One of the new ones we found was Freshly Made Sketches and this card is for their #680 Sketch challenge. It took me a few different tries to get this sketch but I finally got a card I liked! 

Here is the Card:

I used:

• Simon Says Stamp Cosmos Duos Dies

• Simon Says Stamp Fine Gold Embossing Powder
• Tim Holtz Fossilized Amber Distress Spritz
