Birthday card for Grandma...


This card was created using a frame image from Joanna Sheen's CD 'The Cardmaker's Year'. I must admit that I took the image to an art programme and resized it to ensure it was just the size I needed for my A5 card. I printed the image several times to enable me to decoupage the roses. They are also glittered as Grandma loves glitter!!!


The die cut ovals are cut and embossed using the Wizard machine. I also embossed lines to both hold and emphasise the gold organza ribbon on the card. As the challenge at http://lotstodocallenges.blogspot.com/ is embossing I think (at a push) this card may be suitable for their embossing challenge this week.
The sentiment is computer generated and printed on to the same colour backing paper as the frame image. It looks slightly askew in the photo but in reality is straight - honest!!
Materials used:
  • Joanna Sheen's CD 'The Cardmakers Year'
  • gold card
  • cream pearlescent for matting and layering
  • oval Wizard dies
  • fine glitter
  • gold organza ribbon
