The Number Thirteen

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


Another of our grandsons is a teenager!

I CASEd this card that my friend Nance did recently.

I used a NBUS balloon die to cut a piece in the background box that had been
covered with glitter film.  After die cutting the numbers from some gold foil,
I placed the balloon on an embossed background.  Easy peasy and I'm happy to say
that he loved it.  (Of course that had nothing to do with what was inside!)

The large glittery blue balloon looks great Bonnie and love the embossed background and the numbers and coordinate perfectly with the matted layer. A wonderful card for a teenager. I'm sure he did love the card as well as what was inside it. x
