A commission for the 80th birthday of a retired headmaster and my 500th post, whoopee :-)
I inked up a page from an old encyclopedia with vintage photo DI and layered it on to BP from For the Record from Raspberry Road. The words at the bottom right are defintions of words to do with education.
I made a calendar and circled the date. I think the 'book' cover was a freebie from Dover but not sure - I removed the title and digitally replaced with the happy birthday message.
The die cut 80 is on a lovely flourishey frame from the shapeabilities fleur de lis accents set.
