... Good afternoon! I've been playing in my craft room and made this fun masculine birthday card:
Stamps: Concord & 9th/Kristina Werner - Just Talking
Inks: Gina KCW - Just Talking
Accessories: White Card; GK Card - Applemint; C&9/KW Stencils - Layering Lattice, Just Talking
I'm submitting this card to the following challenges:
The Card Concept - CC#224 - shades of green
Stencil Fun Challenge - SFC#0226 - to use stencils and optional to make a background - done
Cardz 4 Guyz - C4G#383 - monochromatic colours
Seize the Birthday - STB#320 - I've gone for Anything Goes for a birthday
This card came together so quickly - thank you very much Kristina. I got the new Layering Lattice stencils last week and they make backgrounds so quickly. I simply picked the pattern and colours I wanted to use and inked directly onto an A2 note card. I finished the front by adding a simple message in a word bubble - I stamped the greeting on green card, die cut it and added a touch of darker ink around the edge. I layered it onto the matching shadow layer. On the inside, I cut a mat layer of pale green card and added a birthday greeting on the white panel. To add emphasis to the greeting, I inked through the matching word bubble stencil in pale green ink.
This is a much needed card for my stash - I used up most of my cards last year!
That's all for today. I'm off to make dinner and then settle down for some more from the Winter Olympics. See you soon.
Pretty in green!!! I love the stenciling however I am really drawn to your unique sentiment design on the inside! This is very fun. Thanks so much for playing with us at Seize the Birthday!
