Get me, I am in the driving seat over at Allsorts today and I picked "Dies" as the optional theme.
Here is an 18th Birthday card that I made for a member of the family.
The large star was cut outbefore I embossed the bunting onto craft card and then put the stars in ever decreasing sizes back into the space. Happy and Birthday were from different sets Whimsy and Your Next Stamp, I think and the 18 was from a numbers die set that came free with a magazine many moons ago. I embossed the "th" with silver powder so that it matched. Another different style for me!!
I hope that you will join us, as always there are some great prizes for this month.
See you soon xx

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, you have been very busy since my last visit, love the kraft and red card for an 18th birthday, the water colour card below looks fabulous, I was told I should have my colours done once, my only reply was I will never wear red/pinks by choice as my face is frequently red enough. Have a wonderful week, Megan
ReplyDeleteThis is a great design for an 18th. I like how you inset the stars rather than layer them up.
ReplyDeleteOoh this is fabulous hun! Love the bunting embossing that's very celebratory and how cool to diecut the stars and then piece them back in after the embossing was done. Striking and fabulous card! Clever fix with the silver embossed 'th' too. Hugs, Wends xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutey stunning. Love that gorgeous design and especially the colours here ♥
