My sister's 60th card

Now that my sister has received her birthday card, albeit a little late because of various reasons, I can post it on here.  

Some of you may recognise a card similar to this in Stampin' Up's newest Occasions Catalogue which you can purchase goods from after 5th February.  One of the perks of being a demonstrator is that we get to see the products before the general public, and also have the opportunity to pre-order too.  Number of Years is the set that stood out for me in the catalogue.  There are large numbers, a few greetings and a leaf stem with flowers which can be added separately.  There is also a set of dies to cut out the numbers and two different banner dies, and you can buy them both in a bundle, saving a little bit of money.  This was my first purchase from the catalogue, although I'm not entirely sure why as I usually don't like putting numbers of cards - I know I don't like to be reminded of my age, let alone other people knowing it!  But, 60 is a bit of a milestone, so here is her card.  
 


And the inside too.


For those of you with the catalogue already, check out Page 10 and see how we compare.  I was really pleased with the way it turned out.  I used the same colours as in the catalogue, but added little yellow Enamel dots to mine (another new product out soon).  The colours aren't really true - these seem a little flared out.  I suppose that's what happens when you only remember to take photos after you have already given away.  The lighting in clubs just isn't designed for photography. 

Will show you her present on Thursday.
