Milestone Birthdays

Today's challenge at The Secret Crafter is to make a milestone birthday card. I always enjoy doing 'number cards' - I can't wait to do one for a hundredth birthday should the occasion ever arise. This one is for a work colleague for her son.







The numbers are done in Word Art in Microsoft Office, enlarged then printed onto patterned paper. This is then mounted on co-ordinating plain paper and attached to the card base with foam pads. I've added some peel-off balloons and squiggles and matching stripes of pattern down each side.
