Last weekend marked the 40th Birthday party for one of my friends. Cheryl is not only a friend but a fellow stamper so 4 of us got together and put together a SU parcel for her - I can't wait to see what she does with it!!Recently the ultra talented Norma recently made this 50th birthday card which I just LOVED! I love everything Norma does though so this wasn't surprising - LOL. Do yourself a favour and check her blog out here - especially if you love Magnolia stamps! I decided to CASE Norma's card for Cheryl - and I even picked the same Tilda without realising it until I revisited the card to refresh myself about the layout!!! This card is 6"x6" as we have a few signatures to collect on it!
I used a computer font to print the 40 outline onto Real Red cardstock - I must have been a funny sight holding Tilda up to the computer screen repeatedly to check on size and designs - LOL. I then thumped Real Red ink over the CS before cutting the numbers out and sponging black around the edges. The flowers, leaves and swirls have been cut using sizzix dies from the US Stampin' Up catalogue. The DP is from my stash and is a Kaisercraft paper I bought when doing my daughter's red and black 16th album!
Big thanx to Norma for her wonderful inspiration and Happy 40th Birthday to Cheryl!!

So sweet Debbie! I love black and red together. Those pearls are perfect accents as well as that adorable flower. Doesn't that swirls CB embossing flower make the best fancy background? I never get tired of seeing it or using it for that matter:))

Great colours Debbie, and I really like the shadowing on the numbers. So much to learn, so little time (in a day!!). Might have to borrow this idea for the "Big 0" birthday coming up this year.........
