It's just a number...

Hey!

I hope you've had a happy weekend. It's certainly starting to feel like spring has sprung around here and it couldn't come soon enough. Hello, sunshine! :)

But enough about the sunshine, how about some shiny card instead? It was my SIL's birthday the other weekend. Not just any birthday. A BIG birthday. Cue one of my favourite sentiments for the big birthdays and some shiny card (I know, it's gold. Again!) for a super quick CAS card that's a little sassy and a little cheeky too *wink*

• Stripes are so on trend right now. For my stripes I wanted thicker black stripes to accomodate the '40' and thinner white stripes to accommodate the stamped sentiment. I also knew that I wanted the top and bottom to be a black stripe. It takes a little bit of maths, but it's worth the brain-ache to make it fit!
• Play with your scraps! The gold card is actually a scrap from this project. I had it lying on my desk and little did I know that it would actually end up shining in the spotlight of another project. 

The texture of that gold cardstock is hard to capture...but here's another angle anyways:

This card is also for our current challenge on A Passion for Papertrey. We wanna see you add texture to your creations. For me, I cheated opted for texture with card, but texture can mean anything you want it to!

Thank you so much for visiting today! :)
