Alas, not mine - I've already had that pleasure! But it's a big number (uh.. big as in big deal, not as in LARGE... although it does seem pretty large when you hit it... er.. nevermind) so I thought it deserved a little bit more than a card.

I took my inspiration from Wendy Vecchi's project on this post. As you can see, I did lots of things differently.

I used a lot of chipboard with a lot of Distress Inks. I actually cut out the chipboard focal point with Nestabilities Labels 4, although I had to finish with a craft knife as the chip was a bit too thick. (Check out the nice embossing on the edge.) The pretty patterned paper is from K&Co (Life's Journey).

Also included are grungeboard numbers (Distress Inked and Distress Stickled), grungepaper for parts of the flowers which I cut using the Tim Holtz Alterations Die(Tattered Florals). Images are from The Angel Company.

I ended up not using the large brads but instead did a sort of a ribbon thing tied in the back to keep it closed. I didn't take photos again, sorry.

This took me a while to do. Perhaps I should have just followed Wendy's great tutorial - it wouldn't have taken so long to complete!
