| My baby girl turned 16! *sigh* And she definitely fits the SWEET! She is a tomboy so I went for the denim look for her card. I used a Judikins stamp. Stamped it twice using faded jeans Ranger Distress Ink. (The detail of this stamp required that I brayer the ink onto the stamp rather than dabbing - not sure why that makes a difference but it makes a HUGE difference in the image.) I cut out the pocket on one image and pop dotted the sides and bottom to the card base that had the same image stamped. Added a little distressing with Old Paper Distress ink and a sponge to the pop dotted pocket and the few areas of the edge of the card. I used just the birthday sentiment from Visual Designs by Chris file #CD00731. I used mini brads for the dot of the i and the point of the exclamation. Added a few stitch marks with black thread. Cut the 16 from Sizzix Fun Serif dies. The "sweet" was from a K & Co. package from years ago. Added a green brad to pull the color of the dots from the patterned paper of the 16. Topped with a green button that was pre-threaded. I drive myself crazy sometimes with the little details. *wink* ~Angie~ (Missouri) ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (cutters: Blue Wishblade and Cricut Expression) |
