Today is my granddaughter Lauren's 22nd birthday. Happy Birthday to you Lauren, you are such a sweet person and I wish you the best life has in store for you.
Here is the special card I made for Lauren, it did not fit into an envelope, so I made the box to go along with it. Mailing these "masterpieces" presents a problem as they have to go inside another box so they don't get crushed. Fortunately, I have a few small boxes that I had recycled from things I have had shipped to me. I also mailed my daughter and son-in-law's anniversary card together with it. Their anniversary is on March 4th, and I will post the card I made for them later on in the week.
Well, I consider this a masterpiece, a card I am very proud of. The script background is Impression Obsession, Cover a Card stamp; I die cut a strip from Spellbinders Victorian collection on the bottom and mounted it on double sided super sticky tape and then applied gilding flakes to it. Love this technique, but it's a mess. The guilding flakes fly all around no matter how careful you are. The rest of the dies are Spellbinders, of course. I can't see which ones I used, but I know I layered them. The main panel is mounted on gold mirrored card. Some mulberry roses, pearls and seam binding bow and the card is done.
Here's the inside:
And finally the box I made to put the card in.
More Spellbinders dies and some paper from my stash were used. The box is one inch in depth to accommodate a 5 by 7 card with thick embellishments.
All for me. Ciao!
