100th Birthday Card - Adapted from an old one I made a long time ago.....

Hi, Friends.....

I volunteered to make a 100th Birthday card for a lady who was a long-time member of our church but who now lives out of the area.  I knew I needed a large-format card so everyone at church could sign it.  I had some ideas in mind, but they kept reminding me of a card I made a year and a half ago and still had in my stash of cards.  So I pulled that one out and adapted it for this very special milestone birthday.  Do you ever do that?

Here's the original card from this post dated September 15, 2014:

Here's my adaptation:

I added glittery gold Thickers numbers over a vellum banner, colored on the backside with my Spectrum Noirs to match the other pink on the card.  I also added a loopy gold bow.  (Yah, I know....the bow is not the only loopy thing around here!  Ha.)  What do you think?  Should I have added more flowers?  I didn't want to draw too much attention away from the focal image, so I left it as is.

Hope this gives you some ideas on remakes of your own cards.  I could so relate to the kitty meme at the top....I can fix this...sorta.  lol...

Thanks for visiting today.  I probably can't enter this into any challenges because I had posted it in its earlier form.  So....many, many thanks if you are a faithful reader and just happen to see this post!  :)  I appreciate each of you who stops by, even when I am totally out-of-my-mind Grandma-ing to make it to your blogs as often as I would like!!

Have a fabulous day!!
