Belated Birthday

I made this card for a friend who recently turned fifty but who was away over her birthday, I haven't seen her since before Christmas, hence the belated card.  I'm catching up with her for lunch today for a late birthday celebration.
I coloured the Fizzy Moon stamped image with Promarkers to match yet more of my new My Mind's Eye papers, I really like the pink and orange colour combo of this stack.  All the edges were inked with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.
I computer generated the sentiment and added a doily made with my new Xcut die.  It cuts beautifully and is well worth the effort of poking all the waste out of the die with a pokey tool!  I also used my new Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page set that I picked up in the sale.  Some zesty orange ribbon, pearls, gems and Card Candi finish it off.
