It was my grandaughter's Birthday yesterday, she has left her teenage years behind her now but not telling you how old she is. Ha ha.
Her biggest passion is shoes and unusual ones at that so as you can guess they do not come cheap but she is young so why not. She has quite a collection now.
So of course I decided on a shoe theme for her Birthday card, well a boot actually but she has several of those as well.
This was a fairly simple card to make. I started by using a piece of good quality card, mine was actually the stencil card from Claritystamp but you could use Sheena card or watercolour card.
Start by stamping your image into place, then cover it with a mask. Use an Archival ink.
Using Dilusion sprays I spritzed the background. Make sure you do this outside or by placing the card in a box. Could be messy otherwise. Don't worry about a few bigger splodges they add to the character of the background.
Now you need to remove the mask over image and cut one out to cover the outside area. Do this by stamping your image onto a post it note then cutting out the middle. Carefully place over image then I used Distress Oxides to blend over the inside area. They blend beautifully, I am in love with them for blending.
Stamp some designs in the middle before you remove mask. The rest is quite straightforward, I die cut some cogs and wheels and added them to the corners with some flowers. Few pearls for a bit of bling.
I used cogs and wheels because my grandaughter is doing an horology degree. Quite technical.
I even carried the theme onto her cake.
I used one of the Clarity Groovi plates as inspiration for the design.
It tasted good as well, thank goodness.
Hope you like the card, lots of possibilities with other images to do similar.
Thank-you for dropping by. xx
