Color Challenge: Spruced Golden Cherry
Alphabet Challenge: Letter A - age
I used dessert option of winter birthday for a special lady having her 90th birthday this month. My daughter brought me a single red rose on Thanksgiving which made me feel very special. I thought these colors would be fabulous to give the birthday girl a rose and big golden numbers to honor her age. The stories she must have; the changes she has seen!
The rose and leaves are two-step stamping. I missed the alignment on the leaves, so I stamped off several times to create filler. The numbers are die-cut from retired Brushed Gold cardstock. A little gold & white bow on the rose stem for a finishing touch.

Diane, you took an older stamp set and made it new and modern again - how wonderful! I love how you got a single rose from your daughter for Thanksgiving, then translated that into this gorgeous 90th birthday card! Wow! ~Karen.

This is beautiful, Diane!
I love that you chose the red rose to make this special lady feel special! I, too, think that roses are the one flower that *always* elevate the mood.
Lovely work!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments on the Anniversary card I shared! The big day is tomorrow - I look forward to giving it to my prince charming!

How beautiful!!! I love your wonderful single rose, and the metallic 90! Yes, I bet the changes she has seen are crazy! We had just paved the streets in our downtown in 1920.....!
