Just 70 Years Young

-

This card uses a digi image from Mo's Digital Pencil
She is coloured using my Promarkers
I then cut her out using my distressed card creator dies from Spellbinders
I also used these to cut the sentiments and the mat
I used some brilliance pearlized ink to distress the edges and add some colour
The paper is from a Forever Friends Kraft Notes Pad brought in the clearance section in Hobbycraft
This card is for the mother in laws 70th birthday
The sentiment on the outside says
'Remember when you were just a kid how you always tried to make yourself look older?
and on the inside
'I guess all the practice has paid off!'
Happy 70th Birthday

This card is for the following challenges

Mo's Digital Pencil - J is for Just 70yrs Young

Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
