Hey guess what? I hear that there is supposed to be some sort of game played at the Beyonce' concert tonight! Sweet! LOL! So is everyone ready for some football? Me, being from Baltimore, I am all decked out in my Ravens gear! This should be a good game. (But what I really watch the Super Bowl for is the commercials!)
So anyway, I was up in my craft cave last night working on this card. And as usual, I'm entering a challenge at the last minute. This is for the current Paper Smooches Sparks challenge: picture perfect.
And the inside:
Here is the inspiration photo:
I pretty much drew off of everything in the picture: the colors, the pattern on the headboard, that bird sculpture, even the wooden table. In my mind's eye, the wood grain patterned ribbon represents a dock, which the posts are attached to, and the seagull is perching on. I did some masking with the 'Happy Birthday' stamp, and made it say 'Happy Birdday'. (hee hee!) I thought my card needed something more, so I stamped and fussy cut a balloon, added twine, and made it look like the bird was holding it in it's beak! Love it!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great rest of the day, and if you are in any football pools, here's hoping you win some money!! LOL!
Chris ☺
