Today is my wonderful husband’s 50th birthday and I actually made him a card. Yes I know, it’s a miracle, but it is a very special occasion!! This card actually came together really easily. I found the inspiration over at Splitcoast and from there it all just worked. You know how sometimes you imagine a card in your mind & when you sit down to make it it turns out all wrong? Well that didn’t happen this time. This turned out EXACTLY the way I wanted it to.
I used the medallion from the Artistic Etchings set and Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla cardstock. You may not be able to see it in the photo but I sponged over the top of the medallions with some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint. I haven’t used it before but I love the effect it gives. It’s very subtle but it just takes the card up another notch. The numbers I cut out using my Big Shot and stuck some of the new Champagne Stampin’ Glass Glitter onto them.
I think it works really well without being overly feminine. The best thing is that my husband loves it and he’s the one who counts.
