Friday was Mom’s actual 90th birthday, and although we celebrated with a big party for extended family and friends a couple of weeks ago, we didn’t want to let the actual event go unnoticed. The immediate family all gathered at our house for lunch on Friday with great stories, lots of fun, and of course, another cake!
Everyone had more cards and some gifts to share as well. Here’s the new card I made for Mom:
I started by die cutting two elements from Pink Fresh Studio’s “Essentials: Braided Circle” on a white linen card front. I added that to a Pale Peony card base and stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s “Birthday Basics.”
Then I added the floral cluster from Pink Fresh Studio’s “Fancy Blooms” that was watercolored on Bristol paper and then fussy cut.
In the photo you can just barely see the Wink of Stella glitter added to the centers of the flowers, but it’s much clearer IRL.
I’m linking this card up to the following challenges:
CAS Watercolour: Bouquet of Flowers
The Flower Challenge: Pretty Pastels
So many pretty layers and processes to your card … I am sure your Mum must have been delighted. How lovely to be able to mark the occasion twice – with candles to boot! Hoping it has created lots of very happy memories for you all.
What a beautiful bouquet and die cut, Karen! Happy birthday to your beautiful Mom! She looks like a very young 90! Thanks so much fro sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
Love that braided circle die cut! And how you’ve used it in conjunction with the floral spray is just magic! Gorgeous card. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too.
I like how your family celebrate birthdays! Very pretty card – pretty in pink, indeed. I like that script of the happy birthday sentiment.
The card is lovely as is “Mom” and the floral table bouquet! How nice that you could celebrate her 9-0 birthday twice!
Cheers~

Your mom looks to be enjoying herself – good for her! She deserves all the celebrations! And that braided circle die cut is too tempting. Gorgeous card all around.
