Golden YOU!

Good morning, everyone.  I hope you are all staying safe and well and enjoying some extra crafting time.

Today I'm sharing a card I have made for my friend, who will be 60 in a couple of weeks' time.  I was going to put the numbers on the front of the card but I decided to put them on the inside instead as I wanted Y-O-U to be the highlight, not the age.
I blended my pink and aqua shades on to watervolour paper using Distress Inks then die cut this using a Chevron Die from My Favorite Things.  I splattered gold paint all over it then painted the outside frame in gold too.  I die cut the word using gold sparkly foam that I picked up in a Hobbycraft store and finally heat embossed the sentiment and die cut it, popping it up on foam.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
