Happy Friday!!! It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog. This week, the challenge is: Something Beginning with "B"
Here is my card for your inspiration:
My "B" items are Blue, Birthday and Bible Verse.
My father is turning 70 this weekend. Wow, it's so hard to believe that can be true! This is the card I made for him. The background panel was for a card I had made (for him) several years ago, and when I got all done with the background, I realized I had stamped it upside down!! So, it had to be set aside and has been siting in my bits and pieces stash all this time! The bit of blue ribbon underneath the sentiment panel was a small scrap I came across as I was looking for a different ribbon and it fit the color scheme perfectly. I layered some kraft ribbon on top to give a little contrast and pull in some colors other than blue. It was quite funny: I was looking for a small, rather plain script birthday sentiment to finish off the bottom of the sentiment panel and as I was stamping it, I realized it was from the same set that the neckties came from! I guess they were definitely meant to be together!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
Supplies:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink "World's Greatest"; Verve "Jeremiah 17:7" plain jane
Dies: Papertrey Ink "By the Numbers" border die (I used it for the individual numbers); MFT "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle
Challenges:
Retro Rubber #203--Happy Birthday (I have had both stamp sets longer than I can remember; the "World's Greatest" set I have had for at least 5 or 6 years, but probably much longer and the Verve set I have had for probably 12 years! Both are still good to go)
