Special Birthday Ages - Frame It - Bumper KitCompleted by Shelagh E Osborn Wright

I printed card parts onto 200 gsm glossy photo paper . I chose a background for an insert panel, added a digital message, and printed onto 160gsm paper. I covered an 8x8 cardblank with pale yellow glitter card and planned to use a black and white photo, but was asked to use the coloured one as on the upload. I attached this behind the first layer of the number and glued to my card with dst. I added two more layers of numbers and two layerswith balloons and scroll, adding a sentiment scroll to the top layer , using foam tape for a good 3D effect. I outlined the numbers with diamond stickles, added diminute pearls to the scroll and around the number 4, and black gems to the top and bottom strips. I added tiny stars to some of the balloons and attached the insert panel with dst. This is a great set of special ages from 30 up to 100.

It's just unfortunate that the original baby photo I was given had a lot of reflections, and I feel my finished card upload doesn't do this design justice!
