It was my Grandpa's 90th birthday last week! To make him a special card, I took out some supplies from The Greetery.
I first started by die cutting '90' out of the Bold Numbers dies. I wanted to offset the white numbers with gold and used some Gold Foil paper from Close To My Heart. I used the Digit Sentiments Stamp Set to add 'Happy' and 'th' to my sentiment.
When thinking about my design, I knew that I wanted to incorporate the Nordic Frames somehow. My Grandpa lives in Nelson and the style just makes me think of a mountain ski town so I thought it was fitting!
Instead of using the 'birthday' stamp from the set I was using, I decided to use the Let's Have a Word: Birthday die cut in both gold foil + black cardstock. Happy 90th Birthday, Grandpa!
