happy 40th birthday

I have to admit it -- this card was a lot of fun to make!  I used Kraft cardstock for the card base and added three different layers on top of it:  blue gingham, Enchanted Evening and DCWV.  I die-cut the banners using blue for the first layer, white on top and cut the letters in Blueberry Sky cardstock.  I added Kraft for the banner tops.  The banner was placed on Flax twine and adhered to the card.

I die-cut the "40" and "th" in white and overlapped it a bit.  I stamped "birthday" and die-cut it with a tag trio die.  I die-cut the tickets in Kraft, stamped them with the border, various sentiments and stars and placed them diagonally on the card.

I die-cut a bunch of stars and placed them on the card, stamping one with "proud of you" as the person who asked me to make this wanted it on the card.
