Another rainy day so no walk for us today. After my annual dentist
appointment (all is good) we had lunch and ran some errands for us and the
sister-in-law; got a few last minute groceries and headed home. Joe is my
personal Uber driver (he laughs; shakes his head and rolls his eyes every time
I call him that) and I do the errands so actually I got quite a good walk in.
Today’s card is the first birthday one I made with my new
Christmas stamp. I will be making three all together because I have 2
sons-in-law and a cousin’s husband who all have birthdays in January and they
are all getting a variation of this same card.
This time I stamped it using the Rangers Big and Juicy stamp.
Although I use this ink pad a lot I don’t recommend it to anyone because it
didn’t take long for the colours to blend together. There is no pink left at
the one end at all. In fact, I just get that dark turquoise and a bit of purple
now. I cut out the image leaving a 1/8” border and then mounted it on that
light blue. The card base and the light blue are from Stampin’ Up but I don’t
know the colours off hand. The sentiment was computer generated and cut down to
fit on a light blue strip and then the dark blue banner which was also hand-cut.
It was added with a dimensional glue strip. I think it’s okay, but just okay. I
like the one I’m posting tomorrow better.
That’s all for another wet and soggy Wednesday,
Cheers
Violet
