Time for Love to Craft July Anything Goes Challenge #60

Happy Thursday to you. Hope everyone's okay. We're fine. I've been eating low-carb again to try to lessen my pain levels and although this last week's been perfectly awful pain-wise, it actually does help. Even losing a little weight, but as I've gotten older, it's almost more important that it helps me feel better! 😁

Well, can you believe it? It's July 1st! Half of 2021 - gone in a flash! And it's time for my LTCCB July Anything Goes design team make. Another sweet girlfriend is turning 65 so I made her a birthday card. I've used one of Hetty Clare's sweet digital images named "Marnie." She is printed on Springhill Digital card and colored with Promarkers. Except for the image, sentiment and a paper doily, I've used Basic Grey's Lucky 12x12 collection for the entire card, including the card base. 

   
I've used SplitCoastStampers Sketch SC484, resizing it in PSE to 5.25" x 7.50" to fit one of my orphaned envelopes I'm trying to use. I had to cut apart the paper doily to make it appear fit, but I did because I very much wanted a doily there! I fussy cut the image to have her standing a bit out of frame. Love her expression!

I used a Divinity Designs die set for the balloons which were brushed with clear Wink of Stella and cut from the BG Lucky paper. I used a Spellbinders die to cut the label on which I stamped the Clear Dollar sentiment using Plum Ranger Archival ink.

For the inside, I stamped Papertrey Ink flowers and sentiments by The Paper Company, I Brake for Stamps and Clear Dollar.

The back has more BG Lucky papers with a stamped Gelatins siggie.

Close-ups to show the shimmer and shine on the balloons, her hair flower and on the sentiment...

And a final view. It was lovely to have you visit me today and I thank you. So many of us need better times, so here's hoping we are all blessed with a wonderful July! As always, Stay Well and Craft On!!! xoxo
