Thank you both so much for picking my card for a top three.

This is a LOTV stamp coloured again with my Prismas and Zest-it.
The papers are from Nitwits Diggers and Dozers set.

I persuaded hubby to give me some cash towards it but didn't tell him full cost....poor man would have passed out lol.

    A 70th birthday card

    I've not been a very good blogger but I have a good excuse been to visit my gorgeous grandsons.
    I did manage to make this pretty card for my friend's 70th. It is a sheet from Card Making Downloads
    by Janet Briggs you can find it here. I found the card very easy to put together and is lovely when made.
