Happy Birthday from the Dark Side for Anna

Hello everyone,

It's my daughter Anna's 15th Birthday today and I had to make a special card even though she told me she just wanted a Black card.  Black does seem to be her favourite colour of late.  Almost all her wardrobe is black.

My daughter is also a Star Wars fan so I decided her black card would be Darth Vader.  Here it is.




This card is an easel style.  I used a picture from the internet and paper pieced the helmet together.  There was a lot of handcutting involved.  Unfortunately., I'm out of practice and not really my strength at the moment after surgery.  Please don't look too close as the flaws will be seen, lol.

Here are more pics of the card

The greeting is from the Hostess stamp set called Happy Birthday everyone.



The inside of the card.  I've particially embossed the inside Whisper white card with the Lucky Stars embossing folder and used my Wink of Stella on some of them.



and a closeup of the Darth Vader mask



Happy Birthday Anna.  Here's a pic of her with a Birthday Cake that grandma brought over.  She's having a party with friends on the weekend, but we had a little family celebration already because we could not miss basketball practice this arvo.



Thanks for stopping by.

    Thanks Donna, you are too kind and yes Anna is quite the young lady now when she chooses to dress like one (not often), she's more into wearing her Band tees and jeans. Most people think she's a bit older than 15. xx

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
