Time for another card ......
This one is for my Sister-in-Law Sharon .... it's her 60th birthday
I got out my Alpha dies and cut a series of letters in white cardstock with 3 layers each, then I cut a selection of 'special' letters in gold. Letters were set aside while I worked on the background.
For the background, I stamped some 'fireworks' in strategic positions on a black square cardfront in VersaMark and clear heat embossed, then attached to the 300 gsm white square cardbase.
'So Happy I'm Sixty' was strategically placed and attached to
cardfront with foam tape. Some of the letters were a bit fidly, but it
is so worth it!
Finished off with a sprinkling of gems.
As You Like It Challenge asks us which is our favourite .... gems or pearls? I would have to say gems! I do use Pearls, but only occasionally (usually for a wedding card).
Time Out Challenges #280 is Fave thing to do in January - for me it is spending time in my craft room with the cricket on (or a fave movie) in the air conditioning as it is usually far too hot to go outside.
| Creative Inspirations asks us to use something 'new' - my new T-square ruler. |
Creative Knockouts challenge #539 calls for 'Something to say' - use a sentiment - I think the card says it all! LOL
Simon Wednesday Challenge is asking for something 'funny/punny' - I think my card fits the bill!
