“Sister” Birthday Card
14 Nov 2011
The next card on the list of cards which I have from the promise auction was a "Sister" Birthday Card, which also had to reflect the intended's 30th birthday.
I haven't got any brothers or sisters so believe it or not this was the first "Sister" card I have ever made!
As usual I had left the making of this to the last minute so I decided to use my tried and trusted card making formula.
(As an aside I'm not the world's greatest cook so at the start of each year I work a really good recipe for a dinner party and then make it over and over again until we have worked our way through all our friends, and then it's time to find another new recipe! Same reasoning behind my card making when I'm on a tight schedule!)
The base mat on this card is bubble metallic rich pink. I was told that the recipient is "girly" so I routed out a suitable background paper. (Oh how I wish I could still wear stiletto heels like those on the paper!)
The "30" was straightforward - cut from the George cartridge on my Cricut. Unfortunately the Mirri card I used was quite thick so I had to finish cutting the numbers out with a cutting knife and I slipped - disaster averted when I covered up the splice with a card making handbag charm tied with some ribbon!
I was a liitle stuck over what to use for "sister" - the sentiment rubber stamps I had were too small and most of my peel offs were either silver or gold. However right at the bottom of my peel off box were some pink letters and stars.which were perfect for the Mirri card. On the same peel off sheet were the "Happy Birthday"sentiments , which again I matt and layered.
In 2 or the corners I used a tiny matching gem stome embellishment.
The insert was pale lilac and at either side of the card I used a shoe card making punch to compliment the theme of the card.
Anyway I hope you like my Sister Birthday Card - the photographs were taken at night time so they are a little dark.
