It is a birthday card for a Red Hat Society Member. The reason they are Red Hats is due to the poem by Jenny Joseph called Warning. I took a few lines from the poem and followed with my own so it reads:When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised. *So my dear friend, why not practice with me? We shall both wear purple with our red hats And practice doing these things that don't suit us.Because growing old does not mean growing obsolete.With age comes a wisdom the young will never know.Happy Birthday!(*The top paragraph was taken from the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph)Ingredients:Copics YR00 (on women), R27 (on hats and rose), G09 (on rose)Prismacolor Penciles (on women and her gloves, dress)Stickles (used on woman's lips, hats and dress)Zig Painty Metallic Gold (used on frame)Zig Painty Matallic Silver (Letters on the outside of card)George and Basic Shapes Cricut Cartridge (lettering on outside of card)Judi Kins Gold Embossing Powder (used on frame)Melt Art Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (used on frame)Mulbury Tissue (used for flower on hat)Cardstock from my stashVelum from my stash (Envelopes to hold tags)Foil from my stash (behind women)My SVG of the Coin Envelope (free on my blog)SVG tag (this is in SCAL under "Tags, Signs & Banners")Sizzix Embossing EnvelopeClip Art (Dress on tag)Buttons (on envelope)Joleeâ's by You (Gloves on envelope)Hampion Art Stamp (woman on front and hat)Stamp of Rose from my stashSVG of Oval Frame is from SVGCutsSticker from my stash (the gold lines inside of the card)Pearls from my stash (on envelope)Ribbon from my stash (on tags)Eyelets (on tags)Velcro Closure (for card)
