AHSC Sketch #175 created by Michelle Stewart (digitized by Chris Lothian) |
I knew that I would be needing a card for my Mom-in- law's birthday... well, I'm actually getting ahead a little, which hardly ever happens, even though I'm organized... but yep, I admit I'm a little impressed with myself: her upcoming birthday is in October! LOL... Anyway, here is my creation!
Birthday Card created by 'Yours Truly' using AHSC Sketch #175 |
I'm really trying to use up some of my scraps and supplies by combining them with newer items to make the whole creation "work."
Supplies:
Royalty-free image of girl w/ tea set: Graphics Fairy
Bazzill CS (Burlap-textured): purchased at clearance sale- colour unknown
Mat behind image- Twilight CS: CTMH (retired)
BasicGrey collections: 1) card background- Two Scoops: (2007 collection)
2) banner- Lemonade: (2009 collection)
Base for stamped image- Colonial White CS: CTMH
Flowers: CTMH and Prima (from my stash)
Veneer hearts: CTMH (retired, but a collection of these "Trinkets", which includes the hearts ,is still available at a discount while supplies last!)
Grey epoxy bubbles: CTMH (retired)
Happy Birthday stamp: "Framed" S1508 (August 2015 stamp of the month- retired)
Water-based dye inks: Pixie, Eggplant, Twilight (retired), Indian Corn Blue (retired) and Outdoor Denim (retired)- all CTMH
I loved this sketch so much, I decided to use it as a road-map for some more cards. I still needed ten more TY cards for the Autism Centre. I'd made four of them last week, so used this sketch to make two more, LOL. I absolutely LOVE doing this. I can use my skill and love of crafting to help in some way- it's a win-win!!
Here are two more cards. As you can see, I changed the greeting this time, from "Happy Birthday" to "Thanks". Love that CTMH stamps have their design so well thought-out.
