My friend and fellow stamper, Amy, just turned 40 and her hubby threw a surprise birthday party for her which I attended. Of course, I needed a card for her and it couldn't be just any old card. Amy is a very creative and artistic person and she has lots of card makers as friends. She regularly inspires me with her papercrafting projects so I needed a super card for her birthday! What came to mind right away was the phrase Forty and Fabulous, because she is! I knew I had a stamp with Fabulous on it and I had the numbers in 40 from Memorable Moments stamp set and I found a funky ampersand in the Notable Alphabet set. Here's how I put them together, using one of my favourite palettes of Pistachio Pudding, Island Indigo and Very Vanilla:
- I love how this turned out, with the different fonts still working together, the beautiful DSP from Venetian Romance and the little clusters of Petite Petals flowers.
- I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to get my images placed just right. Give it a try if you haven't used it yet.
- The Fabulous is What You Are stamp is from is from Million and One stamp set which, by the way, coordinates with the Simply Fabulous Simply Sent Kit.
- I used the Petite Petals stamp set to stamp a variety of flowers in Island Indigo and Pistachio Pudding and then the Petite Petals punch for cutting them out.
- I should have taken a before and after photo for when I added the Pearls Basic Jewels, because they just upped the quality look of the card a hundred fold.
