Happy 40

My girlfriend turned 40 this past weekend and I wanted to share the card I made for her. 

I apologize for the messy desk you can see in the background!

I was inspired by a card Lisa Johnson did a while back, you can see it here.  I loved how she embossed the card stock and then went over it with white ink.  I used a paper towel dabbed in SU whisper white (craft) to brush over my embossed numbers.  I used the Cricut Printing Press cartridge to cut out the number 40.
