Have A Blast!




I've disguised this birthday boy's age as part of the rocket's count down, but I think the big red glittery 65 probably give it away! I love the silver embossed panel so much, it's tactile & shiny and I want to find more ways to use it. Another favourite is white embossing powder, I love watching it develop and the end result. The glossy accents on the window even picked up a little glare, how it did under the Winter sun I'm not sure.

    Very clever the way you disguised the age of the birthday boy.
    Love your white embossing on the bottom and the dry embossing on the panel (I have this embossing folder too - it's one of my favourites).
    Your colouring is amazing as always.
