100th Birthday Card for a very Special Gentleman

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are things for you? I have been so inspired by seeing Captain Tom Moore walking to raise money for the NHS. He has really hit a cord with the whole world. What a wonderful amount of money to pass on to the NHS. There was an appeal for birthday cards for Captain Moore's 100th Birthday on 30th April. I did feel that making a card would be one small thing for me to do to show my appreciation.


I knew I had some patriotic papers in my stash and it didn't take long to find them. 


I think this is the first 100th Birthday card I have ever made. It really is something special. The number dies are X-cut dies. The Happy Birthday is a Creative Expressions die. 


I used the Exquisite Poppy dies, from Creative Expressions, to make a poppy swag at the bottom of the card. 


It was a pleasure to make this card for such a special man. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

I hope you are safe and well. 

Happy Crafting 

Hugs Jackie

This is a fabulous 100th birthday card! LOVE the poppies at the bottom and the fun design! It blends so well together. I do have a favor and I want to make sure the rest of the team sees your fabulous card! Could you link it up over to the Birthday Challenge? I think you inadvertently placed it under the linky for the Hero challenge. Then I will remove it from the Hero Challenge for you. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday
