I always find making cards for my eldest difficult, but cards for his 18th Birthday have to be among the most difficult I've ever made.
I used an Indigo Blu stencil and silver embossing paste to make the musical notes and cut the three circles with my Lil' Inker dies. The stars are an X-Cut die and the 18 was cut with Die-namics dies. I computer generated the sentiment and the headphones are also from Indigo Blu.
I have decorated the inside of the card,
and made a matching tag.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Artistic Inspirations Challenge 72 - Anything Goes
Crafting from the Heart Challenge 2 - Anything Goes
Love to Create Challenge 6 - Anything Goes
