Sharing a quick
birthday card I whipped up featuring a Tim Holtz stamp from his Regions Beyond
set.
To help speed my
card making along I used the colours from the current Cupcake Inspirations picture. Not sure I have quite chartreuse as my green,
I’m not entirely sure what that shade of green is but my cardstock is as close as
I could get to the colour as it appears on my monitor.
My card follows
the current sketch at Sunday Stamps. To
add a bit of interest I created the ‘two sides’ by cutting my card front short
and allowing the base cardstock to show through. I then added my sentiment to the exposed
strip along with some Tim Holtz Idea-ology Crossbones, which I coloured with
Picket Fence Distress Paint with crystals for the eyes.
I’ve also got a
stamped sentiment inside the card along with another stamp from the Regions
Beyond set, which I teamed with a candle from a CTMH set.
This might seem an unconventional birthday
card but it’s going out to someone who loves Hallowe’en and would do anything
to have been born on Hallowe’en, not 10 days later! With my two sentiments I am entering my card
in the current challenge at Creative Knockouts.
