The new challenge at Seize the Birthday is “Sentiment as Focal Image.” I have the perfect card to share for this challenge. The sentiment is all there is to the card. It’s already been gifted to my daughter-in-law’s niece who just turned 18.
This card, like yesterday’s, uses some new-to-me products from The Stamp Market. Tracy gave me a gift certificate for Christmas, and top on my list was the tall “Skinny Upper Case Alpha.” Die cut from metallic gold paper they really make a statement. Although hard to see in this photo the card itself is black shimmer paper adding just a bit more sparkle. “Hooray” was embossed in silver on black cardstock and then die cut. It’s also from The Stamp Market.
Here’s a better view:
I used the tall skinny number dies for the inside sentiment along with a die from Papertrey Ink’s “By the Number Suffixes.” The stamped greeting is from The Stamp Market’s set called “Hip, Hip, Hooray.”
One last look:
The card got high marks from the teenager—always a good sign.
High Mark’s from me as well! So pro!
Curse auto-correct! I hope you realise I know the difference between “marks” and “Mark’s”.
Not surprised it was given high marks – very cool and elegant yet modern at the same time. Looks like those letters are a great investment …
Terrific graphic look and rather “cool” for a new voting teen!
High praise from the teen is certainly putting this card in the too cool category. I think tall & skinny alphas/numbers are going to get a lot of use.
I really like those skinny alphas!! And it’s definitely a good sign when a teenager gives something a high mark.
Fantastic card! Love the look of those tall skinny alphas, no wonder the recipient loved it. Thankyou for playing along at STB, Cathy x
Just stunning! Jo x
