This card was made using the design from the Case Study Challenge #12. I varied from the Christmas theme to make a birthday card. The background paper is CTMH Rustic Trails, with the remaining cream and brown cardstock from my generic pile (with no fancy names). I used CTMH ribbon. The motorcycle and the "extreme" are from Cricut's Dude lite cartridge cut at heights of 3" and 1". The "Have a", "birthday" and the brackets are from CTMH's A Little Everything stamp set in chocolate ink. I distressed the motorcycle to make it look like it's a little dirty. (I know it's grammatically incorrect, as my daughter pointed out, but I was in a big hurry to give this card away today, so I didn't have time to find an "n" to match the size and font and was hoping no one would notice!).
I've been playing around in photoshop elements and added a gradient background, a beveled edge, and the signature. I've also been switching between taking photos and scanning my projects. I'm no expert and spend just as much time digitizing it as I spend making it. So please bear with me as I continue playing around until I find my style :-)
I love your take on Barbara's card Mimi, the birthday theme works perfectly with this layout! Thanks for sharing at CASE study this week! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cool card! This would be awesome for a boy's birthday, I know in my craft room those types of cards are hard to come by! Super design and super colors! Thanks for playing along with us this week at CASE Study challenges!
