Hi folks,
So the big bloke turns the big 50 later this year and since he's been away for the last few days I thought I'd get his card done so he doesn't actually see it. The poor love keeps insisting he's turned 47 for the last 3 years but I think this little card makes it very clear that he isn't turning 47 again!
This week's Freshly Made Sketch was a great starting point, although I did miss out the element on the circle. The background panel has been stamped with MFT's Wood Plank and and the striped panel is by WMS. I stamped the circles with a set by Winnie and Walter.
I've also used the colours and lots of elements from The Card Concept's inspiration pic - the plates with the red and blue borders gave me the idea to use the W & W set, the silver forks influenced the pewter embossed numbers and the red and navy striped panel came from the napkins on the table. So much to draw from in that pic! I think I would class this one as clean and graphic!
Happy stamping!
Claire

ReplyDeleteVery cool and stylish, Claire ... love the touches of silver and shimmer! Apparently 50 is the new 30 ... wonder if the BB knows?! Hugs, Anita :)
