Anyhow, with the crafting bug hitting me again and my resolve to create more Birthday cards, I actually made and sent a card to my wonderful friend Lindsay, whose special day was yesterday so hopefully she will have seen this by now :)
I created it especially with my friend in mind lol. Lindsay, for those who do not know of her, is a superb artist with a beautiful talent for painting as well as for pen & ink drawings. She is also a certified Ranger educator and loves to get down and dirty with the inks and stamps. Okay, yes I like to shabby it up occasionally too but we both joke around with each other about my "clean" & her "messy".
So I made her a CAS style card using a new Penny Black die I bought which works best, in my opinion, when used with plain card. I tried adding pattern but it took the dynamic away away from dotty design. And there's NO INK on the back of the card haha.
And if you're reading this Lindsay, I hope you had a fabulous day!!!!!
Materials Used:
- Card: Dark aqua, Light aqua, Blue, Red, Dark Red
- Die: Penny Black - Dots
- Sentiment Stamp: Papertrey Ink

Hi Paul, yes, I'm reading this! Your (my!) stylish card keeps drawing my eye to it...the dots creating light and shade patterns so I keep seeing different images. And yes, how different our styles can be! Yesterday was a very quiet birthday and too hot to really do anything much...zoo trip is on hold till things cool down! Hugs, Lindsay x x x
