There is a new challenge starting at Crafty Boots Challenges today. The theme for the next two weeks is 'Big Birthday's', those special birthdays we often love or loathe, for instance, sweet sixteen, coming of ago or one of those birthday's with a zero on the end. This theme was chosen by the very talented Sandra. Happy birthday Sandra.
Like most of us, I find making a card for a man difficult and special cards for them are even more difficult. The husband of a very dear friend recently hit 50, what to do?
I layered some dark blue card on some silver mirri card and some plain white card. I then cut some small white squares of card and used a matching blue ink to stamp a small swallowtail butterfly at various angles. Then I layer the white squares on more silver mirri card and arranged them on the card.
Finally, I opened up an old aluminium drinks can and used it to cut a 5 and a 0 with my Big Shot and attached them to the card.
Please hop across to the Crafty Boots Challenges blog to see all of the projects the rest of the Design Team have made.
Good luck with your entries.
