Happy Birthday!

Aloha~

This is the card I made for my godmother, for her 80th birthday!! I do hope she will have many more birthdays! 

So, for 80th birthday, color "Gold" signifies, so I placed some "gold" colored elements on the card. 

I'm not sure about you guys but my case, I sometimes get stuck at least once while I make a card. I had totally different design but when I was looking for a perfect element for other elements I already made, I found a 3D embossed background paper in my stash. When I receive a new product, I often try it out and keep them in a stash, and that was this one. Then, I could imagine the whole card, using the background (although, I decided to change the color and embossed it to make a new background) and this is the end result. The fan & bow are also from Spellbinder. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. I wanted to "curve" the sentiment along the fan instead of just placing it to the top, straight. Like most of us wants to use "birthday" elements on the card but since I've been making her birthday cards more than 30 years, I decided to use something which is not a cake, birthday candles, etc. I did find the sentiment, googling, and did write that in gold inside.   

Hope you'll have a great Mother's Day tomorrow. I'll make a Mother's day card tomorrow, thinking about my late mom. Mahalo for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve
