We never know until it happens, who God has planned for our life paths to cross with. Some people we meet are merely a shadow passing us, others are briefly part of our lives and a special few impact our lives and remain while our friendships grow stronger. I'm sure you know the last group are your blessings, your treasured friendships, the ones you are grateful for.
Yesterday was one of my treasured friend's birthday and this is the card I made for her. I used the digital Hibiscus image from Beccy's Place along with one of the sentiments from the same package.
I used a standard A2 size card base and added the dark green leaf patterned paper matting to the front. For the next layer I used black cardstock and the Altnew Luxurious Motifs 3D Embossing Folder. I highlighted the top of the embossing with an Altenew gold pigment ink pad. Next I secured a layer of foam behind the embossed cardstock.
Before adding the image to the embossed cardstock, I wanted to tie in the gold ink. I used a Q-tip and lightly dotted the ink randomly around the Hibiscus. I knew a ribbon would take away from the image, but at this point I wanted something to balance the left side. I used one of my favorite rolls of washi tape (because of the vertical design) and ran it around the embossing piece from top to bottom and along the edge of the colored image. Lastly I secured these two layers to the center of the card base and over the green matting to complete my card design.
Happy Birthday Kathy!
I hope yesterday was a FABULOUS day that will continue throughout the year!
Thank you for stopping by to see what's on my desk. Come back soon!
