Hi, everyone! Back again to share another card with you. This is one I never got around to sharing, but I made it a few months ago for a neighbor who celebrated her 80th birthday.
She’s not a big fan of bright and bold or super cute stuff so I tried to make something a little more inspired by her decor style in terms of colors and style.
The fancy papers (the vellum, the shiny stuff, the papers the circle was cut from) are all from a Your Paper Insider paper kit. Their kits are a mystery kit of sorts where you get a surprise assortment of papers each time. The kit I got had these in it.
The leafy stem was cut with a Simon Hurley Spellbinders die, while the embossing in the background was done with a Sunny Studio embossing folder. While I was recovering, I made a ton of backgrounds and embossed a ton of paper panels to work with on future projects. This is one of them. I couldn’t really sit for a long time at my desk but I could keep my hands busy making backgrounds and paper panels to use on future projects. It was a good way to keep the brain and hands active.
The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set.
Anyway, that’s about it. Nothing really fancy about this card. But I know my neighbor really liked it and was happy to be thought of on her birthday. That was the best. And I sure hope when I’m 80 that I’ll be as kind and active as her.
Be back again soon!
