Welcome
How can it be just over half a century since my daughter was born??
I helped celebrate her birthday with joy, and a slight sense of disbelief.
and a golden card...
The colour is richer than the photos show... the technique I used is one I saw on Natasha Footes channel here
I created the background using a stencil made by cutting a piece of manila folder with a 'Flat oval die' by Scrapbook.com, and sponged it using Delicata Golden Glitz ink which has a lovely shimmer to it.
The embossed sprig was a new one from a combined stencil and stamps pack by Tim Holtz
The digits were cut using an old numerical die set, and I used a snippet of low sheen gold paper
The sentiment was stamped using a freebie magazine set of sentiment by Rare Earth, and embossed in WOW metallic Gold ep. You can see the shimmer of the ink in the above photo.
The 'splatter' was made using the 'controlled splatter' technique demonstrated in the video above
I used gold dotted washi tape on both the inside of the card and the envelope.
