My hairdresser asked me to make her a card for her daughter's birthday as she was going to be 21. I made this card for her in March and she was pleased with it.
She had requested blue and gold and asked for an old style stamp. I had showed her some of my collection and she picked out 3 stamps, then told me to choose.
I used a piece of white card which I inked over with Distress Ink (I chose a mixture of blues) I then stamped a few twirly foliage bits in Versamark ink and then embossed them in gold.
I stamped the image with Coffee Adirondack ink and dabbed the edges with Versamark and embossed in gold. I layered both pieces on blue card and added a few 'handcrafted roses' from Craftime. I popped a blue grosgrain ribbon down the side and added a small key as a 21st token.
Hope you like this.
Thanks for stopping by - hugs to you all.
Sue

Hi again Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis vintage style card is gorgeous I can see you have worked really hard on this one. Lots of delightful detailing with the gold embossing and that image is stunning.
I bet this was very well received by the hairdressers daughter.
