Commissioned 90th birthday card

Since I last blogged life has been a bit difficult (again!) - early Tuesday morning John had to be taken to hospital, but, thankfully came back home yesterday afternoon, with further tests to come. So I haven't had much opportunity or inclination to craft, especially as I only had about forty winks Monday night/Tuesday morning.

I was asked to make a large (A4 size when closed) 90th birthday card and was given total freedom regarding colour etc. - and I need it for tomorrow, so I did make a start on this last night and have managed to finish it now.

I used three separate sweet pea decoupage designs and linked them together to form one. The base of the card is purple mirror overlaid with vellum that has the silver birthday wishes all over it. The sentiment was computer generated. The ovals were cut on my cricut using Make the cut. The papers used for the sentiment and ovals is HOTP.
