Welcome
I would like to welcome my new follower To TylkaJa. I think her blog is originally in Polish, but google will translate it. Her blog is called
Happy After Blog, and shows her eclectic type of crafting.
I had not intended to be quite so long between posts, but with one thing and another, including a very busy week, time rushed by ... thankfully my hand is healing well, and this afternoon I had some studio time :-).
I made this card for a 75th birthday back in March, but have not blogged it.
I started by using a photo I had taken a few months earlier. I sized and printed the photo to fit the photo frame diecut
The layer immediately behind the feature panel is a piece cut from paper that was in the base of my "spray box"
I added the numbers using an embossing pen, then silver embossed the greeting and numbers.
The background paper is from and Amy Tangerine 6x6 pad, and the accents are silver 'glue' and some enamel dots.
The recipient liked his card, but not that particular photo!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat card. You have been in my prayers this week.
ReplyDeleteOh Maxine I am so happy hearing you use the paper from your spray box. They are such beautiful backgrounds. This is a fine birthday card. Thank you so much for taking time to post your very creative art with us this week at Word Art Wednesday, on our 193rd challenge.

Love your papers and layout and such a sweet personalized card for a friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and personal card, Maxine! I'm sure he loved it! Thanks for the great idea to use the spray "waste" paper as an awesome background mat!! Enjoy your day and thank you for your lovely visits and comments at my place! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove that you used the spray paper! Isn't that a fun way to get a background and use up something that you'd toss? It worked so beautifully with the entire scope of the card. What more flattering birthday card could anyone receive? It shows that you took lots of time and effort to make something so pretty & so personalized....So happy that the hand is healing nicely. (Oh yes, be sure to let your recipient know, the photo is VERY good. Shows him in deep contemplation!). TFS & Happy Sunday
