Hello and welcome dear friends. Here's my (seemingly) once a month post! But alas it is what it is.
[ I do post on my Instagram - also called roosterhead designs~ but it's the same pics as here. : ) That is where my family follows me to see my cards...]
This is a quick post of a Birthday card I made for my baby sis~ It's a tag style; using my oldest and dearest paper collections by K & Co. called Ancestry.
When I first took up cardmaking I went to the local "Archivers" (remember them?!)
and I found a pad of this vintage style paper. That was it; I was hooked!
* I apologize for the pooor photo quality. I now use only my phone camera - and when the sky is grey and cloudy there is just no getting a good pic : (
I've incorporated some different textures with hopes of making it an interesting card! Cheese cloth, corrugated board, micro beads . . . The butterfly is cut from a Tim Holtz die.
I actually remembered to do a wet-emboss text stamp! > When I have the pleasure of visiting Alison @ Words and Pictures https://alisonbomber.blogspot.com/she regularly does that (wet-embossed text) and I love the effect~
On the back I attached a mini envelope as I often do when enclosing a gift card or birthday $.
The Birthday greeting was added later on, to the checkered paper.
I will be very busy the next several week. It is year end accounting time~ But I hope to keep up my visits to your place! and see what beautiful things you are creating~
My wishes to you for a blessed Christmas Season and a Happy New Year Too!
Hugs,
Karen
