Water!

Hey there!
For my official Craft Adda post today, I have a nautical themed card for a 60th birthday for a gentleman who likes boats.

This is a smaller card…what I like to call a notelet…

I punched some holes on the side and threaded a bit of coir rope through it, to create interest. 

Supplies used…

The background stamp is 'Bark' from Local King Rubber stamps.

Boat and knot and wheel from Paper Smooches 'Wicked Nautical'.

Die cut numbers from Lawn Fawn

Happy sentiment from Winnie and Walter.

Inks used are from Memento and Tim Holtz.

I used watercolour pencils to colour the boat rand the knot.

I thought it would be interesting to try and make a water themed card…without depicting water!

Would love to hear what you think…

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Have a great day!

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!!!

Have a good night!
