Stacy gave us the whole Smithsonian Site for inspiration today! I clicked into the Explore Art and Design section and found a section where you could find an artist who shares your birthday. I found this piece by artist Adrian Lozano (who was born on the same day but not the same year!)
The art piece of a face made me think of Tim Holtz Dapper Die that I recently purchased.
I die cut it out of white, then cut it again in black, blue and tan to get the colors in the artwork. Then I embedded the color pieces inside the white negative die cut.
I stamped the edge in Smokey Shadow. I die cut a label out of watercolor paper and stamped the sentiment "I say Old Bean" onto the label using black ink and layered the label onto the card with foam dots. I went over the black pieces of the die cut with Clear Glitter Wink of Stella so it has a sparkle to it in the sun.
Inside I stamped : You're How Old?? Happy Birthday!
We're having a beautiful sunny day here in MA - it hit 60 degrees! I spent the morning at one of the grandnephews soccer game and actually enjoyed sitting there in the sun!.
The daffs, tulips and hyacinths are all starting to bloom finally!
