Happy Birthday to Jay, who turns 80 on Valentine's Day! I just got this cool stamp and die set (my BFF got it, so I just had to as well!) and thought it would be perfect for a Birthday/Valentine combo card! I stencilled the clouds for the BG. This heart die cut is so cool because it makes the balloon 3D! I backed the heart with gold and added the numerals which were also die cut from gold. I used some Christmas plaid DSP as I thought it would make the card a little more masculine. I stamped the basket and tnen paper pieced it with more of the plaid, adding some gold gel pen for the trim. The sentiment took three separate stamps, one of which was a wood block, so I am surprised it turned out as well as it did! Made a matching envelope for fun. Want to get this in today's mail so it gets to him on time!

Fabulous card! Love the headline greeting. The stenciled sky is gorgeous, the design perfect, and the plaid heart that matches the trim on your envelope is an excellent finish...
