Commissioned birthday card


I was asked to make a 50th birthday card for a friend to give to her husband. I used a digital music background - the recipient is musical. I swiped the musical instrument with versamark (it was originally lilac) and heat embossed with copper powder. The greeting was computer generated, torn around a perspex oval template and edges with versamark and copper embossing. The big 50 was rescued from a golden wedding card (someone gave me a lot of old cards in case I wanted to recycle anything).The  corrugated card (a snippet left from some packaging), gold foiled sentiment and the padded gingham hearts from stash.

I can show the card now because the recipient has got it and loves it.

  16. I rescue pieces off old cards too. I have used 25 from Anniversary cards we received, to be used for 25th Dec for Xmas cards! Feels good to upcycle bits like that, doesn't it!

    Your card looks great...loved the way you changed up the colour of the die.
