Hi stampers! Yay, it's Wednesday and I have a very special birthday card for a friend of ours who will soon be 80! I combined the Atlantic Hearts Sketch and the Retro Rubber Winter Scene theme to create my card for him:
The sketch had some decidedly feminine aspects to it but I envisioned some masculine elements, even though I did sprinkle a few sequins on there....hope he doesn't mine too much! So here we go:
My cabin image is from Reflected in Nature (2021), stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. I just love the detail on this, and I didn't get hardly any use from it when it was current! I diecut it with a circle die and added a mat from Kraft cardstock. Instead of flowers, I used some Seaside Spray "greenery", accented with sequins, and I added a denim ribbon behind my sentiment:
I diecut a piece of brown and blue plaid paper with a Spellbinders rounded-edge die and mounted everything on a Early Espresso card base, on which I also rounded the edges. The sentiment on the inside was from A Dozen Thoughts (2013) and to get that 80 in there, I stamped the numbers from Number of Years (2016) behind the sentiment in Soft Seaspray. The eagle was also from Reflected in Nature. Hope he likes it!
Thank you for much for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful scene and I love the plaid and browns with blue, LeAnne. Thank you for sharing at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous, that image is awesome for a masculine card (or feminine). I don't think the addition of sequins makes it less masculine at all. Great job!
