Today is my lovely husbands birthday
and of course I had to make him a card
I pulled an index page out of a large vintage atlas
folded it in half and then in half again for the foundation of this card.
I pulled another page from the same atlas but this time a map page
which I cut into strips to form the side edges of the openings of the card
I zig zagged on my machine down the edge
then set to work making my collage.
His Monogram needed to be applied, sanded, gesso'd & stitched
some stamping, a few rub-on's
and a spray of glimmermist
some ink and then you wouldn't believe it
I noticed our former home town (the place of his and my birth)
was on the front of the card,
When I pulled the index page out I pulled out one of the Australian pages but
I kid you not I did not plan for Inverell to be on the front
it just happened to be there
- how cool is that!
I had to circle it :)
Happy Birthday to my lovely husband
and to anyone else who is having a birthday today :)
It's been a little while since I shared some of my cards...
and some close ups for you :)
May Your day be Blessed
