My oldest granddaughter is FOURTEEN years old today - what the heck??? She can't be that old.......... Luckily she is still a sweet girl and the early teenage years have not ruined her......yet! Although I do think she would need surgical intervention to be "removed" from her phone, but that unfortunately seems to be a sign of the times.......... I love technology and the convenience, but I don't love that we often fail to have face to face conversations and text or email instead. I am guilty of it as well and trying to improve on making REAL connections.......... but enough of my editorializing!
It is her birthday and I tend to do a Halloween theme since it falls the day before - and I have been having so much fun experimenting with the Silver Bullet and the FoilMaster that I turned once again to both. I had an idea to make a foiled overlay and just let me say - this will NOT be the last time I do this - too much fun!!
So.... I found some royalty free clip art on the internet (so grateful that others can draw) - and traced the witch and the moon in SCAL and cut out. The witch is black luster card stock from Paper Temptress and the moon is from paper scraps. The background sky is mica card stock also from PT that has been embossed to look sort of spooky!
Now to the overlay. I used SCAL to create stars scattered over a rectangle the same size as the embossed rectangle and placed them around the witch and the moon so they wouldn't detract from them. I did a print and cut of the stars, foiled them in silver with the FoilMaster and then cut the rectangle with the Silver Bullet.I placed some small glue dots under the stars so the transparency would adhere without visible signs of adhesive. I so love how this turned out. It was super fun and super easy and looks so much better in person.
I hope she loves this special birthday witch!
The stars are really silver but reflecting the light in the photo.
I can hardly wait to do an overlay again.
The greeting is just a font cut out of silver mica and placed over black and silver sparkly ribbon.
The sparkle cardstock from PT pulls all of the pieces together as the card base.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KENDRA!!
