A friend sent out a request earlier this week for people to send a birthday card to her brother who lives in an assisted living home. I of course couldn't turn down the opportunity to try to brighten someone's day by sending a card. I asked her what his interests are, and she told me that he used to love to watch old westerns, such as Gunsmoke and Bonanza. Thus, this card was born. I only had one night to make it and get it in the mail, so it isn't anything too fancy. I found the picture on the internet and came up with the sentiment. The inside says, "to wish you a Happy Birthday." I hope he is blessed by it!
I cut the stars using my George Cricut cartridge. The 62 was cut with my Old West cartridge, and then layered on a circle punch and a scalloped circle punch. I used a Martha Stewart border punch (the yellow border) and a EKSuccess border punch as well (the black border).
That is a great card, love the border you used on it, was that a punch or an svg file?
