 | | My dear friend Donna's 75th birthday is tomorrow (YIKES!) and I could not come up with a birthday card for her. I bemoaned this fact to my DH so he came into my craft room and looked around at all the gorgeous cards people have sent to me and pointed to this card that Sabrina (cook22) made: MMTPT511 Bonjour Butterfly by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers. DH said this was the perfect card for my friend Donna. He was right of course, but I groaned and told DH that the gal who made this is one of the most talented people on SCS and she used 8 million techniques on this gorgeous card. DH told me that is the card and if I only use 2 million techniques, Donna will never know. Ha! So, thanks to Sabrina, Donna will be getting a birthday card now. One of the things I loved the most about Sabrina's card was the gorgeous dsp she used- oh my. So, I went rummaging through my extensive stash of dsp and found this rose dsp that has a similar feel to Sabrina's. I loved how it looked die cut. I got these layered rose dies in a magazine back in April and I had assembled 3 of these roses so they were sitting on top of my desk, and they worked beautifully with this dsp. My friend Donna loves roses so I used the roses in Lieu of Sabrina's gorgeous butterfly die. Then I used the numbers instead of the gorgeous flowers Sabrina used. I actually wanted to do a little pocket envelope with a fabulous note inside of it, but I could not make that work on this card. In the end, I did like DH said and used fewer techniques on this card, and I am pleased with the end result. Thank you for the awesome inspiration Sabrina! And, this card also fits this week's alphabet challenge for the letter R for Regal Rose which is one of the rose layers. ~Karen. |
