Happy Friday morning all,
Yes almost weekend and it promises to be a lovely one here in this part of South Africa. We can feel spring edging closer, and I just want to get into the garden...but have learnt from past experience, winter is not going to just let go...so will wait another week or two. Anyhow I have a special card today. One of our very best, old friend...as in long time... turns 80 today... and this is the card I have made for him. He is Irish..but won't hold that against him..LOL hence the greeting on the front.
This is what I used on my gate fold card:
Paper.. Bazzill cardstock, DP from Papermania..Hampstead collection
Image... Digi from Anne Fenton coloured with a combination of Aquarelles, Tombows and Twinkling H20s
Sentiments... Computer generated
Finished off with a few small buttons, a button 4 leaf clover, also a punched one and the 80 cut with my cuttlebug.
I made a band just to hold it together, and the sentiment on that is in Gaelic, means Happy Birthday, finished off with a button 4 leaf clover.
I hope he will like it.
I will enter it in the following challenges:
Craft your days away... Birthday
Anything goes ... Happy Birthday/Celebrate
Tuesday Throwdown ...Birthday
Top Tip Tuesday ...Straight edges
Cards for Men ... CAS
Hope you all enjoy a lovely weekend and whatever you may be doing...have fun.

Hi Ursula,
Such a neat card that... love the colours and the buttons looks so cute. The sentiment is so very meaningful and the four leaf clover makes it even more so.

Neat card Ursula; I think he will like it! That froggie put a smile on my face and your sentiment is perfect!
It is so weird listening to winter talk; since it is full on Summer here in California. Winter is my fave season; please send some chill my way:0)
Glad to see you have joined us at Top Tip Tuesday:0)

Such a fab card Ursula, very clever design. Thank you for sharing with us at Cards for Men and Craft Your Days Away, good luck with the challenges xxx
Hoi die Ursela,
Eerst even over je vorige kaartje ( kerst ) Wat is deze leuk geworden en het embos gedeelte is door het inkleuren goed te zien.
Een tijdje niks van je gehoord en ik denk .. ga je blog eens bezoeken. 80 jaar is een hele leeftijd en de kaart is mooi van kleur. Licht en vrolijk.
Ik hoop dat die goed bevonden wordt.
Hartelijke groetjes Lida
