Winter birthday

Hi! It's Georgina with my regular Thursday post.

I have a birthday card for you all today. I have used a Christmas topper but I think it works just as well for a winter birthday.

 

 

The topper I used was Hobby House's Christmas Berry topper which is available from Lisa B. Designs. I started by distressing the edges of the topper with Walnut Stain and Frayed Burlap Distress Ink pads and a Blending Tool. The photo below is a before (left) and after (right) shot.

For the card I used a 148x148mm scallop edge card blank. I distressed the edges again with the Walnut Stain and Frayed Burlap Distress inks. I stamped the birthday wording all-over the card blank with the Walnut Stain ink pad. This stamp is from Hobby Art's Birthday Collection stamp set. I then stamped the texture line stamp in Frayed Burlap and the faux stitching in Memento Tuxedo Black. Both stamps are from Hobby Art's Decorative Backgrounds stamp set.

 

I stamped the sentiments each side of the cute girl image. I then added the topper to the card with foam pads. To finish I added Stardust Stickles and brown Cosmic Shimmer PVA dots to the corners.

 

 

This is my last post for 2013. I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

 

See you all again in January!
