FMS 155 Happy Birthday, Melissa

As I mentioned, yesterday was my sister's birthday.  I used this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge FMS 155 to create her card.  I wanted the card to be elegant and sophisticated just like her.


This is the card I created:

Stamp Set: Making Spirits Bright
Cardstock: Shimmery White and Gold Fancy Foil designer vellum
Ink: VersaMark
Accessories: embossing gun, embossing buddy, gold embossing powder, Note Tag punch, small corner rounder punch, gold cording (ret.), glue dots, and dimensionals.

I love the Shimmery White cardstock (you can't see it from the photo) but it's so gorgeous!  The new designer vellum is nice to work with since you can hide your adhesive (glue dots) behind the design pieces.  I cut the width of the note tag punch at 1-1/2" so I could elongate the tag to accommodate the stamped image.

Happy Birthday Brother Scribner

Today's card celebrates Bro. Scribner's birthday.  He is a very nice man from church who comes to mow our lawn.  


Stamp Set: And Many Mower
Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White and grass paper (LSS)
Ink: Old Olive, Memento Black and markers - Basic Gray, Going Grey, Hello Honey, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: fringe scissors, 1/4" grosgrain ribbon Old Olive, dimensionals and sponge

The stamp set is a retired Stampin' Up one from a few years ago.  Some sets are just keepers.  I used the fringe scissors at the bottom of the grassy scrapbook paper to create a "grassy" effect.  To continue with the grassy theme, I sponged Old Olive ink under the mower too.  I think this is the perfect card for the nice man who mows our lawn!
