Mornin' hens! You thought I was kidding about the birthdays right? LOL! Nope, seriously I think everyone in the DH's whole family was born in September. {snort}
This little card is for my sister in law!! She LOVES cats so I know she's gonna love this card. This stamp is a Valentine's Day stamp set and the sentiment actually reads "Wishing you a purr-fect Valentine's Day" but I didn't ink up the second line and found this Happy Birthday stamp to replace it. I think it turned out great, don't you? I used my stitched circle dies and cut a large circle from the plaid patterned paper and then adhered the negative piece to the card base leaving the bottom portion of the card base for my image. Then I stamped the image and sentiments directly on the card base following the curve of the paper and colored it with my Prismacolor pencils. The top seemed a little too plain so I added a border with some striped grosgrain ribbon for some added interest. Okee dokee, that's it for me today! I hope you hens have a great day! {{{hen hugs}}}

ReplyDeleteI know somebody who's birthday will be in September too!!! *snort*
I love your darling card and your SIL i know loved it for sure. I have a question. I'm so disappointed in my Martha Stewart paper trimmer blades lately and must get a new trimmer. I noticed you used the Fiskar sure Cut. I hear good and bad reviews. So do you really like it that much. What is your all time favorite? Thank so much. Celyinscatcharter charter.net
ReplyDeleteHey Cely!
DeleteI LOVE this paper trimmer! I read the same reviews as you and decided to give it a try anyway. I had a fiskars rotary trimmer for years, which I still have, but it's rather large fort area and I wanted a smaller trimmer. I've had this trimmer for approx 6 months I think and no issues at all. Still on the original blade and NO FRAYING of the wire. I love the wire! It shows you right where the cut will be. Hope this helps!
I love plaid and like cats and kraft paper, so this card is a winner. Really cute. :)
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see you use kraft paper I remember how long it has been that I have been dying to try it. I have used it as the background, but never to colour on. When I see you use it and how fantastic it looks, I am dying to try it, but till this day I still have not. I love this look and the colouring on the kraft paper and your image is so cute! I really want some stitch dies too, but have to order them from somewhere overseas. Anyhow, well done with another brilliant card!
