Sara's Birthday Card

Good Day!

My daughter in law, Sara, just celebrated her birthday.

Today I'm showing you the card I made for her.

This card had quite the evolution.

I started by finding a purple background in

my stash, as her favorite color is purple.

At that point I had no idea what I was going to

do with it.  Then I decided that I wanted to emboss

a piece of acrylic and see what I could come up with.

I used an embossing folder with tiny hearts on it.
I can't find a link to this particular folder, but there

are several varieties of this online.

I had a bit of vellum with music on it and

added that to the background.

I then used scotch tape to hold the background

and acrylic together, then had to figure out how to cover

that tape up.  I scored a piece of card stock and folded

it over the top to cover the tape and make it into an 

actual card.  This worked out great for a unique card.

I cut the words out of a scrap from the same background

piece, using my 

Silhouette Cameo

 and adhered them to the acrylic piece with

Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.

The last thing I did was add some of that 

glue behind the letters so the acrylic would 

adhere to the background, this worked perfectly.

Sara loved the card and how unique it is.

I was pretty happy with it myself.

Sometimes flying by the seat of my pants works

out great.

I'm so thankful to have a wonderful daughter in law

like Sara!

Thanks for stopping for a visit today,

come again soon.

Until then,

fly by the seat of your pants and see what

you can create.
