40th birthday card

I kept one of the birthday cards I was sent this year to try and recreate something similar.

I began by inking the ME filigree doily stamp in fresh snow onto ocean tides cardstock and the effect is sooo pretty. The bride die-cut had double sided adhesive added to the dress for the glitter. I used the sketched shapes banner to anchor my lady with the sentiment from PTI simple sentiments. The finishing touch was to add the 40 - the idea to tie it with twine came from Nichol Magouick - I saw her tied anchors and thought that's a cool way to add numbers!

This week's Papertrey Ink MIM challenge is to make a pretty matching envelope so I stamped the doily image to match.

Thanks in advance for any kind comments.
