Saturday was the 18th birthday of a neighbour. He recently passed his driving test but I made a congratulations card with a car on for that. Bit of head scratching here. I did think about a raunchy KennyK image but decided against it :) However, Matt does run discos for events at our local Community Centre and my in-house critic suggested that as a theme. He even found a few ClipArt images for me to think about! Man, is there no limit to that man's talents?!
- A5 white linen card stock
- ClipArt image with the computer produced sentiment underneath and printed onto white card
- dark blue backing card
- backing paper from a free paper set by Kirsty Wiseman (Crafts Beautiful ages ago)
- Josy Rose nail heads
- and Sarn came galloping to the rescue with the numbers. Recently she sent me a selection of die cut numbers etc. so I could check out the fonts for myself before launching into buying any dies and the 18 came from the Olivia numbers she'd sent - I didn't even need to colour them. Thanks Sarn - a lifesaver!!! I was so pleased the way the numbers echoed the swirls on the main image :)
I'm recovering from Ally Pally so it's going to be a quiet day ahead here.

ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous card, really suitable for my SIL as he fancies himself as a DJ, got all the gear, used to do disco's in the Crew Bar on the P&O cruise ships but when he got to Staff Captain they forbid it. He called himself DJ Johnny Massive.
ReplyDeleteBet the guy loved it, great choice by your hubby, mine has no interest whatsoever.
