A Milestone Birthday

My Aunt is having a big birthday this weekend so a special card is in order and whilst browsing challenge blogs I found a fab sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the gorgeous trio of colours from the Play Date Cafe this week


The sentiment, whilst a little wonky...oops, is the newest Lawn Fawn alphabet called 'Sallys ABC' which contains numbers too,  I hand drew the small 'th' to match the font.
The flowers, flourish and label are MFT  dienamics dies and I made the small bud by snipping off two petals from a spare flower and slightly overlapping them before tucking them under the flourish.

Here are the challenge specs


Wow I think I've managed CAS, colourful and pretty in one card!
Sorry another short post...must dash and get dinner ready :)
Thanks for looking x
