General Birthday Card

         Fall has more than officially arrived – we may have frost tonight! Yesterday was a beautiful day but today it was cloudy and a cold wind was blowing so I stayed inside. Our tree is losing leaves so fast it’s incredible.

        One of our grandsons is turning 16 later this month so I made a ‘possible’ birthday card for him. I usually make more than one card for everyone’s birthday and hubby picks the one he likes best. So here’s the first one.

                          
            I came across this background paper in the stash and decided to use it. It was simply adhered to a 5.5 inch square card. Then I found this tag in an envelope that was gifted to me in with a huge bag full of odds and ends. The tag pulls out and a gift card can be attached to it. The colours were close enough to use with the background….but it needed a buffer. So, in the stash I found that strip of cardstock that was off white with a bit of green in a marble-like pattern. First it was dipped in some Distress Ink that was streaked against the glass and sprayed with water and then the edges were inked with Distress Walnut Stain.  This was a pretty quick card to put together. Its okay but not sure hubby is going to like the little sentiment tag for a 16 year old boy but it came with the tag so I left it – for now!

        That’s it for Friday, October-02-20 20. Wishing everyone a safe, happy and creative weekend.

Cheers
