Your Age?

Here I go today with another card from a photo! 

Another special family member who loves her fur baby is having a milestone birthday on Monday.  

Here's her completed card and then a little bit about it. 

It will be her 70th birthday so we wanted a special card to send to her.  Knowing how much she loved her fur babies, I searched her profile for the perfect photo.  She 'inherited' Kidler about 18 months ago when her Mother, who was 98, passed.  

After a little adjusting, it looks like life is good on both sides. 

I scanned this photo and removed the color using a couple of filters, then printed the image on 110# Neenah cardstock. 

I used my Copic markers to add color back in as close as I could match the photo of Kidler and added a bit more color in the background.  

I used Gina Marie Designs Label Six to die cut the completed image and then added a black cardstock liner.  I used a standard A2 card base and secured the light brown patterned paper matting, then the green paper matting to the card front.  Next I added the image with the liner in the center. 

The sentiment tag is computer generated then die cut with a fish tail tag die.  I added a layer of fun foam behind it to raise it slightly then secured it at an angle across the top.  Lastly I added the single enamel dot on the tag to complete the design. 

On the inside.... well this family member is fun loving thankfully!  Inside her card says... 

Although these are a 'stretch' for me to make, I do enjoy completing them and adding a special surprise to the birthday person!
