Bollywood birthday!

I have always loved creating my own background papers but now I am obsessed!!!!
A cousin called and asked me to make a 60th birthday card for a man who loved old hindi (Bollywood) movie music.

So I started looking for inspiration on Google images and decided to take a screenshot of the images of the movie posters that came up. I printed it out onto some nice white textured paper and Voila!! I had a beautiful custom printed paper!

I then went a step ahead and typed out the lyrics (in photoshop) of a very famous hindi birthday song from a really old movie…one of my favourites! This became my second printed paper!

I then made two vinyl records with black and coloured paper to create the vintage look…added the numbers 60 and a birthday message to finish the card. I distressed the edges with Tim Holtz vintage photo distress ink for interest.

This card just makes me smile…I hope it does to you too!

I am submitting this card for the Simon Says Stamp 'B is for…' Monday challenge. B is for Bollywood…B is for Birthday!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by…
Have a good night!

Custom printed papers

Hey there!

Today's card is inspired by this card made by Neha Bhatt of Perwinkle Creations.

Neha had created her own custom background printed paper for her card.

Taking this idea, I made this 21st birthday card for a boy who loves finance and maths.

I photocopied a page from one of my husband's finance text books and after distressing the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink, I used it as my custom background paper.

The sentiment is from KaiserCraft, which I heat embossed onto a piece of OHP paper and stapled to the panel.

The number dies are from Lawn Fawn.

Thanks so much for stopping by…do come back to see more custom printed papers!

Have a nice day!

I am submitting this card for the Simon Says stamp Monday Challenge B… B for birthday!
