Today’s card was made using the sketch challenge at Create with Connie & Mary.
Here is the sketch:
When I looked at this sketch for some reason I thought of the Another Great Year #133038 $23.95 or #133041 $17.95 stamp set.
Here is my take on the sketch:
I also decided I wanted to make this a Golden Birthday Card. What is a Golden Birthday? A Golden Birthday is when you turn the same age as the date you were born. My birthday is September 24; so when I turned 24 that was my Golden Birthday. My husband gave me a blue sapphire and diamond ring. A perfect gift since Sapphire is my Birthday stone and it was a gold ring.
For the base of my card I used the Gold Foil paper #132622 $3.95.
The actual card cut 4″ X 10 1/2″ is matted onto the Gold Foil paper. I also used the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum in gold #133363 $10.95.
I stamped the Happy Birthday to you in Versamark ink on Very Vanilla card stock and then embossed it in Gold. I did this with the cupcake as well and punched it out with the 1″ Circle punch. I matted it onto a 1 1/4″ Gold Scallop Circle.
The Another Great Year is the Stamp Set of the Month for January. Click on the picture in the right hand side bar for details.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!
