Hi Again~
It seems like forever since I made a card using a card part from my stash. Today I did it! I also wanted to use a new craft die set that arrived last week. Always in need of a birthday card, this is what I came up with.
I had a pretty Stampin' Up! retired Tempting Tourquoise cardstock card base ready to go to make an A2 size card. I will hoard treasure what remains of this cardstock as I do love it. I cut the surround die that holds the greeting two more times in black and glued them under the happy birthday to add dimension. Decided to do this after choosing to emboss the card.
But even before I decided to do that, I knew I wanted to use a piece of watercolor paper with curvy waves done in shades of tourquoise rescused from my parts drawer. Sorry, I have no idea when or how I made this, but it went with the base card color. 😄
Using an older item from my huge stash of embossing folders, called SU/Sizzix Swirls & Curls, I embossed the whole card base. Anyone else do that? Gives a nice texture feeling when holding the card.
The newbie here is from Gina K Designs called Die-Birthday Trio. It is currently out of stock, but hopefully she will ge more in before too long. I am adding my card to the NBUS Challenge #52 for July. Speaking of July, Happy Independece Day to all my readers who celebrate this holiday in the USA.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.
Love the waves with your sentiment, Jeanne! The card is such a gorgeous colour ... I can understand why you are saving these lovely pieces of card stock for special cards. xx
