This next card was a request from a friend for her farmer uncle who will be celebrating his 100th birthday this week in assisted living. The family will not be allowed in to help him celebrate so she wanted something special to honor the life he has lived and bring a smile to his face. I hope this does the trick. It was created with images from Classic Old Truck Multi Step Clear Stamps and Cowboy Hat Multi Step Clear Stamps (which is a retired KSS set). The top sentiment was computer generated. The grasses across the bottom where die cut with grassy edges from My Favorite Things. The fence posts were embossed with a woodgrain folder.

Hi Lynn
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards .. .. but the one for the 100 year old is brilliant. Such a shame he isn't going to be able to celebrate with everyone properly. Hopefully he will get the chance later.
Your card is sure to bring back lovely memories for him .. .. and the sentiment is just brilliant.
Thank you for sharing with the AYLI Challenge.

What a beautiful and bright happy card on top there Lynn! Love the addition of the floral looking lemons in the strips! Happy 100th birthday to your uncle! What an incredible milestone! Your card is perfect for him and I love how you've personalized it along with the lasso and fun details to it! Thanks for sharing!
