Today I used another sketch from the Card Camp class and the colors for this week to make this card. This is a birthday card for one of the founding members of my synagogue. He is 90 years old today. In Hebrew the letters of the alphabet are equated to numbers and the Hebrew word for "life" is Chai which has a numeric value of 18. So "Chai 5" equals 90! I have to give credit to my DH who came up with the idea for Chai 5 though I did the design of the card which I really like!!
I used a Darice balloon embossing folder, hand cut the banner and used paperTrey dies for the letters and number. All papers are from PaperTrey.
I am also submitting this to Make My Monday: Balloons.
Thanks for coming by!
I love this design! What a clever idea! :)
