30th best wishes

well good evening my lovelies. i just have to say i can't believe it's Thursday where has this week gone.
i have to say very little crafting done : ( this week by me time has just flown by.
tonight i am sharing a celebratory card and i hummed and eyed over which stamp i was going to use for this special card and i decided to go with Opal the Optimist by Stamping Bella as this little cutie is toasting with a bottle and glass filled with bubbly. so cute.

happy birthday, stamping bella

 
i have coloured this cutie with distress ink, created another embellie, framed my image with my newest super lovely die: gilded oval, die cut some sentiments and created an optical illusion with my 30th floating over the embellie on acetate.
