Made this card for a friend who turns 50 this week. Combined the ColourQ and Paper Players challenges and this was the result. Rolled roses gave me some grief as my glue dots were too small, so they are bit "more open" than I would have liked.
Paper: Bashful Blue DSP, Night of Navy, Kraft, Rich Razzleberry
Ink: Sahara Sand
Accessories: Lacy Circle, Circle and Foliage Nesties, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Number Dies (PTI), Rolled Rose Dies (My Favorite Things), Half Pearls, 5/8" Sheer Navy Ribbon, Button, Twine, Glue Dots, Dimensionals

Oh, this is a beauty, Marisa! I love the openness of your roses, and those numerals really make a statement. Happy Birthday to your friend!

I love how open these are - I am going to try smaller glue dots and see if I can get the same effect. This is a lovely card and I know your friend will be or is absolutely thrilled with it. Everyone deserves something lovely like this when they hit 50! Truly special card Marisa!!! Hugz!

WOW, this is so cool and perfect 50th birthday card Ritzi. Love your beautiful rolled flowers and the colors are dee-licious. Maybe you can make another one for Benzi and put "92". You know she will be 92 this month????
