Today I had the privilege of helping to celebrate the 80th birthday of a very dear lady. She is one of the sharpest, most active, and adventurous women I know. She is truly 80 years young!
For her card, I wanted to use her favorite color (and mine), pink, and lots of bling. I had a hard time picking which picture to use because I couldn't get the lighting quite right to show all the sparkle. The background patterned paper is actually fully glittered, and of course the numbers "80" are too, but you can kind of see that. The rhinestone bling I wanted to be reminiscent of a crown, since she's definitely a queen! :-) Also, the ribbon looks sort of reddish, but it is actually the same deep pink as PTI's Raspberry Fizz cardstock. And here's the inside:
What looks like water drops is actually a confetti stamp that I stamped in Versamark and embossed with crystal embossing powder--it looks pretty cool IRL.
Thanks for stopping by a taking a look! Have a great week!

She sounds like a peach!! This is a wonderful card Jill and I love the sparkle!! My grandmother was in her early 80's when she passed away and she could still recite her valedictorian speech word for word!!!
She sounds like my kind of girl...
and I know she loved this gorgeous beauty...
with all it's glitter and bling! :)
Jill, this is a darling card for a darling duchess! How blessed you are to know her and aspire to be like her! She will love and treasure this beautiful card always!! Hugs, Darnell
Great card. Love all the sparkle & bling. It is so hard to get good pictures when everything is so sparkly.
This is gorgeous Jill. My mom is almost 80 and she is the same way:)
Well you definitely have not lost your touch, Jill, this card is SO pretty! It's fun and festive, yet elegant at the same time, not an easy achievement!!
