Challenge #57
Birthday
This fortnights challenge of Birthday has been chosen by DT sister CraftyGirl. I had so much fun making this card and trying to get the hang of masking. This awesome stamp was part of the Creative Stamper set with magazine #107. The stamp so reminds me of all the needlework my Mum and Gran used to do often using images like this and a variety of stitches.
Once I had made my masks I then got t stamping then coloured the final design with Promarkers. I was trying to get an antique theme going on (thinking again of my Mum and Gran's needlework lol) and think, looking at the end result I did capture what I was trying to do. A small edging stamp was used to to complete the framing of the card and finally the Birthday sentiment also from the Creative Stampers magazine. I then used the Tim Holtz distressing tool to roughen up the edges (my stamping is not very straight on the edges so this is a cool way to disguise this and make it look part of the end result). The completed layer was then mounted on black card. Leaving the card base white did not look right so I ended up getting some purple children's craft paper and scrunching it up into a small ball to create a really distressed look. Once flattened out I used this to cover my card. Finally I added some flat back pearls to the flowers and a couple of die cut butterflies in black.

What an incredible stamped image! You've coloured it beautifully and I really like the little half pearl accents you added to the centres of the flowers. Thanks so much for entering your project into our latest challenge over at Pattie's Creations. Good luck in the draw.

Love this card, the colors you chose, the small pearl details, the cut flower by the happy birthday and the beautiful butterflies. That rub on edging looks so hard to do and you did it perfectly. Thanks for joining us at Moving Along With The Times!
