Happy 50th Birthday!

One of my dearest friends in the world is entering into that next decade known as the 50s.  I say embrace it!  She's smitten with cupcakes so I thought I would make her this card:

InLinkz.com

I used the offset feature to outline the words twice and merged the largest outline with the number.  The center was erased from the 0 so it wouldn't be cut, and I replaced it with a couple of ovals also cut with the Silhouette.  The Letters and little bits of flying frosting were sent through the Xyron.  I cut the flowers from one of the patterned papers and trimmed some of them to match the shape of the card.  The antennae is coiled wire with Glossy Accents on the tips colored with Copic marker.  The back of the card is cut exactly like the front, but in white, and scored on one side so that it opens easily.  I used distress ink to edge around the card.  The cupcake image was fussy cut, colored with Copics, and mounted with foam.

This card was inspired by the following challenges:

The Cameo Spotlight Challenge #2:  Numbers

Moxi Fab World: Card Design Handbook Week:  The Asymmetry Challenge

Lili's Little Fairies:  Anything but a Square

Thanks for coming over to visit!  I hope you embrace your time here on Earth, no matter how many days have passed.
