A *Very* Special Birthday Card!!

Hello My Friends

Friday morning my boss sent me a text and told me it was the Archbishop's birthday and said "Might you have a card you could bring for the staff to sign that we could give to him?"   And I very blithely answered....Sure.  Then raced downstairs to my Craft Cave to make a card for him.

I mean, I have birthday cards in my stash....but for the Archbishop????

I needed something not too frou frou.  No butterflies or flowers or ribbons or bows.  No glitter no nonsense.  Our Archbishop is a wonderful man.  Very solid.  Very learned.  And a fantastic shepherd to his people.  But it was still intimidating to think of making a card for him.

So I borrowed an idea from a Pin I have and altered it a bit and this is what I came up with.  Awesomely Artistic and Gorgeous Grunge to the rescue.  Along with the You've Got This background splotch.  Wink of Stella on the dragonfly wings to give a hint of translucence.   A retired sentiment that is exactly what I need in these sorts of situations!! And voila!

Hope he was blessed by it!  Although I signed the card I didn't get to say it in person so a much belated.....Happy Birthday your Grace.

Hope everyone's weekend has been wonderful. God Bless,   ~Cynthia    <><

Fast and Fabulous Friday - A "You've Got This" Silver Birthday

Hello My Friends

I had a *TON* of new goodies arrive last night and I have to tell you, I am loving what I've got.  While I dig through the mountain of goodness that awaits me there, I wanted to show you a Fast and Fabulous card that I whipped up using a new and glorious stamp set called, "You've Got This".

I used my favourite colour as a backdrop for this card - Blackberry Bliss.  Yum, yum, yum!  The flower from "You've Got This" and the sentiment (from the new hostess set, "Happy Birthday, Everyone") were stamped with versamark ink and silver embossing powder was applied then heated.  Pop this panel onto a card base that has been embossed with the new embossing folder, Boho Chic and voila!  

Finished.

Fast and Fabulous!
