Tie Birthday

 Hi Everyone, I hope you're all well. In my New Home card, I mentioned my 90 year old BiL had fallen and was in hospital, thank you so much for your many good wishes for him. I'm afraid he died just a week after they moved in to their new bungalow. My SiL is stoic and coping, she has her incredible family around her. Who have been as wonderful to her, as she is and always has been to them.

Now on to why you're here, my card for today was for a friend's grandson, his birthday, that with everything going on I had forgotten about. So a quick one needed to get into the post. I did a "tie" search in my files, goodness knows why I thought ties. Anyhow, I found some paper, printed it out and cut and layered it onto orange paper. Added both to the base card, found a die cut sentiment, layered it onto silver mirror card and fussy cut around it. Card done and in the post, just in time.
tie paper - Sissix from 2016
sentiment die - I've had an age, sorry no label
orange paper - Lidl
boy on left page of insert - Paper Garden Products

 this is the insert, I also did in Photoshop, the blur is me fading out my greeting to him. I took the photos when I finished them, written and ready to post.
