Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! Today's post is my birthday theme DT inspiration project for My Time to Craft challenge blog. DT member Maria selected this topic. Each gal was assigned 2 challenges in the first 6 months of the year for their desired themes. And this worked out perfectly because my sister-in-law has an end of the month birthday and her favorite color is blue. Competition is from March 10-23, 2023.
Aged Floral Tribute Birthday card:
some vendor and design notes:
1. embossing folder = Cuttlebug; received a Cuttlebug and this folder along with a few others and a die from a wonderful craft-artisan friend!
2. not seen is the white card base 5"x7" = The Paper Source (website)
3. blue pattern print fish tail tag and the tiny light blue chipboard heart = Simple Stories' Sending Sunshine card kit elements
4. Happy Birthday stamps = Raisin Boat/Sum More Fun
5. recycled papers = the black and white graphic print is the lining from security envelope!! --Did you guess that????
and the one underneath it is --drumroll, please!! ---computer printer alignment page!!! YES!!!
6. cording, black Hero Arts ink pad, blue and a cantaloupe/gold-ish tone Memento ink pads, staples, are from stash

DeleteGorgeous card. I love the texture you've created with the embossing folder and how you've played with the blue tones. And that use of the alignment page is fantastic, awesome idea. Hugs, María.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maria!!
DeleteMy printer did some strange printing like your panel a few weeks ago and I had no idea what it was, but congrats for using it to make a card! I turned mine over to use for scratch paper LOL This is a great way to recycle items to create a pretty card! Thanks for sharing it with the first Triple B challenge! (Carol, GD)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol!!! I tend to be a bit frugal with my crafting expenses so I'm always looking to repurpose and recycle!
