Why is it that celebrating my son's birthday makes me feel older than celebrating my own does??? My son is my youngest child and he just turned 25 😜 oh my day's where has the time gone? And next year will be worse my eldest daughter turns 40 😱... I must be getting old !!! 🤣. Anyway back to the card making, which by the way keeps me young 😉. Today's inspiration is the card I created for my son. He likes very graphic, architectural design and his colour palette is shades of grey, black with pops of reds and purple. With all that in mind and the fantastic Birthday Celebration stamps and dies to hand here is what I created.
I used basic black cardstock for the card base which is a piece of A4 cardstock folded in half to create an A5 card base. Then I used a piece of the
Two-tone basic black cardstock and the number dies from the Birthday Celebration bundle and cut the numbers out, make sure to save the inner parts of the numbers.
The Two-tone cardstock has a darker side and a lighter side with a white core and comes in a range of colours.
Next adhere another mat of the Two-tone cardstock but with the lighter side uppermost to the card base.
To add more texture to the card I used a 3d embossing folder from the sadly retired Basics 3d embossing folder pack.
I adhered the die cut panel onto the card base using black 3d foam. I also added a piece of silver foil behind the number 25 to highlight it.
The sentiment was stamped in versamark and heat embossed with silver powder then die cut out using the largest banner die from the set.
Waste not want not is a great motto to help continue the decoration to the inside of the card don't you agree 😀
Well I'm pleased to say that my son liked his card and had a lovely birthday. Would you try a black on black card?
