Good morning it's time for my Monday dose of Visible Image inspiration and for today I can finally share the card I made for my son for his birthday on 24 February.
Daisy (my granddaughter) helped me make a quick lemon sponge birthday cake for her uncle (my son is not a fan of cake and this was a version he prefers of my standard Victoria sandwich cake). She so proudly carried it in
and helped him blow out his candles.
We had such a fab day together, special family time.
So now to share his card.
I used the following stamps.
Pisces from the Zodiac set
I made my background with acrylic inks plus some Lindy's sprays which have a gorgeous sheen. It's so hard to show in a photo taken in the evening when I was working.
As it was A4 size I cut it up
.
As I had some spare pieces of this background I also made a bookmark for him. I added 2 fish
and cut up the letters of the Pisces word and mounted them on snippets of black card. Here are both projects together.
So now to share his card.
I used the following stamps.
Pisces from the Zodiac set
The son definition.
and elemental stamp set.
Plus the time tunnel stencil.
As it was A4 size I cut it up
I added some background stamping using elemental
and some stencilling using white ink..
I stamped and embossed some of the fish and all the Pisces words onto black card and fussy cut them out.
I then put my card design together.
A close up to show the cool elemental stamped background.
and a final collage.
