Happy Birthday to my Husband Carl!
The Best Thing About Memories is Making Them ...
Together!
For this special birthday card I ordered a new stamp specifically for his card. This stamp is a Dove Art Studios image named 'Train Station' by artist Jennifer Dove.
The train image itself holds many memories for him having spent a good part of his childhood and first marriage living across the road from the active railroad in our local town. Now that chapter has ended and our story started just over three years ago. We will always treasure our good memories as we focus on the adventures our God has planned for us together.
To make this card I stamped the image on Neenah 110# cardstock and colored it using my Copic markers. I used the Memory Box Matinee Rectangle die for the stitched edge cut.
The card base is a 6" gold card stock with a left side fold. It's covered in a red gingham pattern with 'ticket' prints. I added a blue mat behind the completed image, secured slightly offset at the top of the card, then added the train image. After adding a piece of foam behind the cardboard clock, I placed it over the edge of the mat and secured it at the bottom right corner of the card front. Lastly I added the brown twine at the card fold and a little bit of glossy accents in the window panes to complete my design.
