Craft Rocket Challenge 11 - Anything Goes

Hello Everyone
I hope that you are well It is now just over three weeks to D-Day (Due Day!) To say I am excited is an understatement, but very scared too.
However, this fortnights challenge for Craft Rocket Challenge is "Anything goes. Plaese take a look at the other DT members work and why not join in.
My card was made for a friend to give to their neighbour who will be 96! I wanted to make a fairly simple card and include texture. Her eyesight is not the best, hence the large lettering and simple font on the front. It also includes my latest guilty secret -  a Tattered Lace Pearl Flourishes die. I must admit they cut like a dream and I think I will find them extremely useful and "bling up" too with mica, embossing powder, gilding flakes, pearl drops etc
.
Ingredients
DL shaped card
CE Foundation card - Wisteria (I love this colour!
Sue Wilson EF - checkboard
Sue Wilson dies - Open Daisy and Eternal Rings
Tattered Lace - Pearl Flourish die No 5 large and mini
CS Phill Martin Twinkles - Chic Viola

    96 wow that's a grand old age, love the card, the texture and colour combo are great. Love how you've worked those dies too.

    Exciting times I can't believe you are into the last four weeks, it didn't seem that long ago you mentioned becoming a Grandma/Granny/Nanna? Whatever you prefer. I'm sure your daughter will not agree with me but the time does seem to have flown.
    I hope you are all ready for lots of bosies! (Scottish cuddles).

    Hugs Erika. x
