Forty & Fabulous!

I didn't know where I was going with this card when I started it! I had just bought the DCWV Spring Glitter Stack (boy!these papers are FAB!)I literally just made it up as I went along! I made adjustments here & there with placement of the elements until I was satisfied and this is the end result. I used 3 different papers from the stack(they are all double-sided so you can make one card from one 12x12 sheet,with scraps from other pieces).Again I cut away 2 cms from the front & scalloped it (I do this after covering the front with paper) and added a contrast paper to the inside back. On this piece I also added a rectangle of white card for the addition of a sentiment. I then cut a panel for the front and scalloped the bottom. I added a small strip at the top with a ribbon trim & the word 'fab' which was 'fabulous' trimmed down. Fab was cut from Doodlebug velvet cardstock. I then added a 40 & @ again cut from contrasting papers. I punched out a circle for the '@' to sit on. A layered flower completed the card.
Carts used:
Fabulous (cut down)-Wild Card
@- Wild Card
40-Don Juan (any font cart will do!)
Thanks for looking
Back tomorrow!
