Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ... my lovely neighbour, Sally, asked me to make a 50th birthday card - I don't have much in the way of numbers so ..... she said handwritten numbers would be just great! This is how it turned out. The good news is that she loved it! Phewwww!

Smashing 50th birthday card. Love the layered stencilling and your numbering is very neat xxx
Great work with the layering stencil in those subtle colours and the hand drawn numbers are very neat. Just spotted that I've said more or less the same as Sarn - great minds eh??
The layering stencils make a lovely all over pattern and love the colours you used too Kathy. A beautiful 50th birthday card. x
