I've said it before … making cards specifically for a person is my favorite things about cardmaking … and tonight I had fun making some cards for July Birthdays.
I'm joining The Paper Players Time to Celebrate Challenge (for their 400th Challenge).
I started with a vintage wooden Hero Arts Design Block Birthday stamp inked with two colors of Catherine Pooler ink (I won't lie … without the benefit of my MISTI it took 6 tries to get one I liked).
This card is for someone who likely owned one of those boom boxes back in the day (because I know she rocked an awesome spiral perm).
I'm also joining Anything Goes at Just Us Girls.
The next one uses the colors from the current Global Design Challenge.
I embossed my Mint background and then used another vintage Hero Arts Wooden Stamp Wild and Crazy.
Since my sentiment is my focal image, I added Essentials by Ellen Prize Stag Die Cut (the recipient is a deer hunter) in lieu of the sentiment circle using this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch.
Love,love,love both cards, Stef! The “this rock” is so cute on the first card. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players on our 400th challenge!
How fun are these cards? LOVE the background on the first one and the color scheme on the second. The sentiment POPS off the card!
Great card! You have done an outstanding job with the background…I would have sworn it was DP. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us over at Just Us Girls!
Great masculine card- Thanks for joining in at JUGS
That’s a great big sentiment card. Great colours and that embossing folder is fabulous. Thank you for sharing in with us at The Paper Players for our 400th Challenge.
Love the sentiment and the animal head tops it off perfectly. Thanks for sharing with us at Atlantic Hearts 🙂
love that embossed mint background so much! Thanks for joining us @ Atlantic Hearts this week.
I don’t know how you managed to get four challenges into one card, but you did a great job. Thanks for joining us this week at Global Design Project.
