The FMS layout really works for this type of card - it showcases the central image so well! And the colours couldn't have been better! Just right for a masculine card.
I had just the right set of stamps to make the 100th birthday label - Memorable Moments. I started by stamping the number onto white card and then diecut the label positioning the number in the centre. To position the words I used my stamp-a-ma-jig and finished by stamping the dotty outline. I cut a mat layer in Pool Party and adhered the birthday label to it. I made the card base from Night of Navy. I cut the Pool Party mat to size, then cut the design paper to the same width and punched the border decoration. Next I stamped the word Congratulations (using my stamp-a-ma-jig for alignment) and cut the design paper to fit above the word. I finished the front by added three copper brads. I mounted the whole panel to the front of the card with dimensional tape. The inside is very clean and simple - a mat in Pool Party and white onto which I stamped a greeting.This card will be going in the post shortly - as it needs to reach Mum in time for her to sign it and post it!
That's all for now. It's still very wet here in Michigan, but I think we've had it easy by comparison to those experiencing snowstorms and tornadoes. Keep safe wherever you are! I don't know about you, but I'm more than ready for spring to arrive. See you soon.
Well we certainly don't get to make too many cards to celebrate that milestone so doing a special one is perfect! Love the colour choice it really pops.
