Welcome
I have been intending to post again, but life has moved way faster than me - blame the residual anaesthesia in my system... that sounds better than simply being disorganised.
This card was made for my older brother - who appreciated it!
I saw the sentiment on a card online, and the blogger could not find the source of the quote, or a stamp, so she had computer generated it, and so did I... thank you Kathy of Just Branching Out
I also CASED the sketch, but cannot recall where I saw it - the original was feminine, I made mine masculine
The papers are from an old Stampin' Up pad, and are reversable. I inked the edges of the papers and hand cut sentiment banner with CP Rouge ink, and also inked the 'parcel' with the same ink.
The oval was cut using two oval dies, using the same card as the base.
The parcel and ribbon are stamps from Uniko's latest release, Mid-century Modern Birthday set.
and I 'coloured' the ribbon and bow with Golden Glitz ink
The birthday greet was from the same Uniko set, stamped with the same ink, which was a fabulous match for the Cranberry coloured cardstock I used for the base
The scrap strips of design paper were used to decorate the inside, and the envelope.
