Looking at this card makes me happy because it reminds me of summer & I do love summer! Today we loaded up our car and took our kids to the beach and went for a long bike ride along the esplanade. We just soaked up the beautiful scenery and warm sun, making the most of these few warm days left before the coolness of autumn sets in. The kids loved sitting on the pier to eat fish and chips and it was so lovely to share this family time together!
To make this card I started off with a crisp cantaloupe card base. On top of that I've used a piece of watercolour wonder dsp. I've then layered a piece of gold fancy foil designer vellum (love heart).
For my sentiment I've used a piece of crisp cantaloupe card and embossed the happy birthday from the set 'another great year' in white embossing powder. I used a spongue dauber and some crisp cantaloupe ink to darken the centre of the sentiment just to make it stand out a little more. I tied I piece of gold baker's twine around the card twice and tied it off with a bow and placed a gold mini metallic clothespin in place. I also placed a couple random sequins on the layout from the gold sequin trim. I hope I've inspired you with this happy happy birthday card!
Love the golds and cantaloupe together Carli! So pretty. How clever to add a little sponging to make that beautiful sentiment really stand out. Sounds like you are settling well into your new home. So glad because it means you are crafting again and I enjoy seeing your creations!
