Second birthday already
We are in the middle of some serious snow! Supposed to have gone to a birthday party tonight but we are lucky to even see our street! Finished the card anyhow and decided to post it while I have the opportunity. I don't usually buy collections of papers but all of this is from one. Don't have any idea which one but I love the color - all of it! I could hardly believe that I didn't use my "blender" once! It has been a bit since I colored a Tilda, so it was a huge suprise that it went so well. For those of you who are thrilled to know the colors of copics I used, here they are!
E00, E11, E51; R20, R32, R37; Y21, Y28; YR23; YG63, YG67; B45. I used a few spellbinders' dies. They have a fancy label one out that I just had to use. It is a set of 3. I put glossy accents on the greeting one on the front of the card and used my red spica pen on the other label one on the right side of the inside. There are lots of stickles as those of you who know me, know I love sparkle. That "page" on the left inside is really a page from a dilapidated book. I colored it with a few Tim Holtz distress inks and crumbled it inbetween so you can see the wrinkles. I tore the edges to make it look really old. Then I ran it through a xyron to put sticky on it. Next time I will try putting the sticky on it first and then distressing it. Not sure if that will work, but it was awfully hard to remove from the sticky to put it on my card. I love the way it came out. The gal I made this for is a elementary teacher. Thought she would enjoy all the references to school stuff. There were a lot of stickers that came with the papers. I especially loved the border ones. I even used the tiny, inbetween pieces to separate colors. Of course I had to use flowers, (Wild Orchid), I found some alphabet brads in my stash. Think that about covers it. Hope you enjoy the card as I hope she will when I give it to her. Usually I don't post a card until I give it to that person, but figured since its a new year, what the hey! Hugs to you all, Barb F
