This is my second
card featuring one of the new Birthday Betty Boos from Simply B Stamps; this
one is Elegant Birthday Portrait.
I needed a card that was elegant but simple for a friend whose style that is and this was the perfect image for that theme. To make it up I have followed the current sketch at Unscripted Sketches. I flipped the sketch and one of the oval elements around to suit the shape of my image. I’ve also stuck to a black and white colour scheme, as there is nothing more elegant than black and white, with a pop of red on for the dress as a nod towards my friend’s birthplace, China.
With a CAS style I was never going to have any designer papers on this card but I think this shows how beautiful a card can be without them. The current theme over at My Time to Craft is no designer papers so I am entering my card there.
And if you’re looking for the next stop on the SBS birthday blog hop, head on over to the lovely blog of Rebecca or else head back to the SBS blog to start from the beginning; the DT girls have done some gorgeous work with all the images from the Birthday Betty Boo collection.
