Matboard Birthday card

11 Jul

Reminder: tune in tomorrow night to Inspired at Home! NEW INFO
my segment will go on at about 7:13 PM.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!. Hope your year is great. I love you…

This card’s design came about by an ADD accident. I bought the EK Success birthday candles punch and couldn’t wait to try it out. I punched out a section of paper, admired it and laid it down on a pile of other stuff I was working on. Went and threw a load of wash in the machine, did some other things, came back and threw a small mat I had cut to accommodate a postage stamp on top of it. It looked so cute like that, I had to cut another one in the right color and size to fit an A-2 card. The turquoise and red really pop- love those colors together…

The khaki band going around the middle was printed on the computer trimmed with mini scallop scissors. The circle at the top is a disc of kraft mini-flute with a felt flower cutout from Queen & Co purchased at the Scrapbook show a few weeks ago all tied together with red hemp. The bottom is a base of the red matboard and turquoise felt on top (also Queen & Co). The red mat is layered on top of a light aqua card.

The funny thing is after making this card, I looked at it and it just didn’t fit Hayward’s personality- he’s more of a green/brown/earth tones guy. Maybe it will go to you!
