Celebrate 70 in 2020

A friend is turning 70.  Another friend will also be turning 70 - not for a year or two . . . but while I was at it . . .
Creating the 2 cards at once was easy.  The balloons and "70th" are inlaid, so I used the numbers cut from one to fill in the other.

The white paper has a pearly finish to it.  The black and gold are foil cardstock, by Tim Holtz.

I used inspirations from the following three challenges:

The Card Concept - Time to Celebrate

The balloon die is from Simon Says Stamp -- the sentiment strip die is from MFT. I'm not sure who makes the number dies.  

Thanks for taking a look.  Hope you are having a Happy New Year!!
