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.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
