8oth Birthday card


Hello Everyone.   Here I am with another 8oth Birthday card in Purple and Lavender again.   However,  I love the colours and I know this card was loved too.   It was an 8 X 8  I added a background that I embossed with distress ink and again I have used this before,  it looks a little blue in the picture,  but it was a lilac that matched very well with the corners.   The centre piece was made with Tonic Bows die finished of with roses in purple,  lavender and white.   I also made a bag to match and the beautiful ribbon was a gift from my good friend Patricia of Summerhouse crafts.  Have a few birthdays this month so I really have to get a move on as I still have a few Christmas cards to make as well. 
Hope everyone is well and keeping busy,  and those who are feeling poorly I really hope things get better soon.
Hugs Rita xxx

Good afternoon Rita,
I just love everything about your beautiful card. It will be loved and treasured.
The colours and design are wonderful.
Do you have a post with the details of how you make the "bags" for your cards??
The weather has been so dark and miserable here all day.
Hugs for both of you
