Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #121

Hi Everyone!

Time for another Die Cuttin' Divas challenge.

This week's challenge...
Birthday with 3 embellishments
(that could mean 3 of the same type or 3 different ones, like buttons, brads, pearls, skittles, flowers, ribbon, etc.)


One of my co-workers just turned 40.  As a milestone birthday, I wanted to include the number 40 somewhere on my card.  Using several Cricut cartridges, here's what I made. 

The card is 5x7.

This silhouette is Helen from the Suburbia cartridge, cut at 5".

The number 40 is cut from Sweet Treats, and I trimmed off the flame on the shadow.

Fabulous is from the Forever Young cart, and

the word "and" is from the Calligraphy cart.

The papers are from the Recollections Bold Basics paper pad, which I'm loving because it offers a number of patterns in the same color scheme that makes it so easy to coordinate.

Flowers are made with a Fiskars punch,

and I added 3 green pearls.

Here's the inside sentiment. (sorry it's blurry)
