Happy March Everyone! It's a beautiful day with sun shining and warmer temperatures expected today and tomorrow in Abbotsford BC. With blossoms appearing on trees and snowdrops in full bloom in my garden I feel excited for the up coming season.
Atlantic Hearts Challenge #670
Here's My Card:
Once again I'm using the Wonderful Match stamps, dies and papers to create a masculine birthday card. This sketch from Atlantic Hearts was perfect for creating this fun birthday card which came together in no time at all.
The Wonderful Match designer papers are really awesome. They include two half page layouts of tags, so once I checked out the sketch design I was inspired to grab one of these tags to use in the card front focal. After that it was just a matter of choosing a background paper and a circle. I used a retired stitched circle die from Stampin' Up! to cut out the trophy from the dsp graphics page and added this with dimensionals to the card front.
I'm still at a loss to as to which photopolymer stamp set in my collection this "Enjoy Your Special Day" sentiment is from. So if you know, drop me a note.
I used the Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers to finish the card front, but instead of putting them at the top of the card as shown in the sketch, I added them to the trophy circle and sentiment strip to give some additional pizzazz.
For the inside of the card I stamped "Happy Birthday" using the long retired Perennial Birthday stamp set. I never get tired of this sentiment because of it's size.
The matte is a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of designer paper and matches the strip on the front of the card. The white matte measures 3 3/4" x 5". I've added the soccer ball and grass die cuts from the Match Day dies to add some more interest. Love those dies.
Thank you for visiting and for leaving me some words of encouragement if you like this rendering of the AHSC#670 challenge. I hope you'll visit the Atlantic Hearts Challenge blog to see all the wonderful cards posted by the Design Team and other participants too. Hopefully these card samples will inspire you to be more creative and to challenge yourself to try new layouts and ideas. Until next time......
