Yes. Happy Birthday, Ed! Today is my husbands birthday.
And, in Libby fashion I made a card. And a banner. And matching gift wrap. I’ve always done this. That’s my style.
Today’s card I decided to stretch it a bit and go with Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for this week. Personally, I think I nailed it. Go look at the sketch and come back.
See. What’d I tell you? Only thing is, my card uses a wrapping paper bag instead of card stock for the focal point. Yes, the base is a card base. And, the faux ribbon at the top, part of the wrapping paper bag too. Can you even venture at what the letters are? I’ll let you think a moment. Ok. They are vinyl letters found in the poster department! Lol!
This just proves that you can make a stunning card using not necessarily all traditional card making supplies.
I think it works super. You can see the rest of the ensemble in the other photo. Gee, looks like we had a Sale-a-Bration stamp and punch to match the paper. Oh, well. I love what I came up with.
Got to run and make the birthday breakfast, this should post about the time he wakes up!
Best of Birthdays, dear. I love you –
Happy Stampin’
Libby
Bold and bright! Love your creative process – and that is one coordinated birthday celebration!
Thanks for the kind words! I just love thinking outside the box. It’s a challenge- I like it!
What a great use of non-stamping products to make one stand-out card! And how fun to have everything coordinated. I hope you guys had a fun day. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
Love the challenges y’all come up with! Such fun!
Well, happy birthday indeed! This is so fabulous Libby!! Glad you shared with us this week at FMS!
Thanks! Love the sketch this week!
