Happy 90th Queen Mum!

Hi everyone - hope you're having (or had) a wonderful weekend! I'm back as promised with the card I made for our Queen Mum Mary's 90th birthday. 

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card;

Neenah Solar White; scraps

Dies - Memory Box Royal Robin,

Happy Birthday Sheet Music, & Small Nest;

Birch Press Design Happy Birthday Vintage Sentiment

My Favorite Things In Stitches Numbers; 

Sunny Studio Out on a Limb;

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set 

Stencils - Taylored Expressions Set the Scene Clouds 

Other - Hero Arts ink; Copic Markers for shading

I die cut a stitched rectangle and stenciled the clouds, then added to an A2 card. Die cut the bird, crown, branch, leaves, music staff, numbers, nest and sentiment. Assembled and added to card.

Mary's daughter Heidi, the lead singer in my retired quartet, held a brunch yesterday for close chorus friends. Here's a photo of Mary with my former quartet; I'm on the right.

Here's a photo of us from 20 years ago when we were still competing as an ensemble & Mary was our coach. Our favorite photographer Jon Petersen took this specially for us after we won a contest. We look very comfortable with our shoes off!

The whole chorus celebrated Mary (who directed for 38 years) last Monday night with a big cake and several presentations.

That's it for today, friends! I'll send my birthday card to Seize the Birthday #303 where they're doing layers as the topping. My birdie, nest and sentiment are all layered. I'll also share at Darnell's April NBUS Challenge #73 since those dies are all newly used.

Thanks for visiting!!
