My colleague asked if I would make a 30th birthday card for her sister-in-law. She gave me the brief that she is musical, girly and likes a lot of bling.
I have never used the image featured here - it was from a music-themed Creative Stamping magazine last year - and when my colleague described her sister I just thought, yes, that's it! I heat embossed it in black and then blended with Distress Inks around her. I added music notes from the same set and a different greeting, I wanted something big and swirly. I added the blingy 30 and then edged the entire card in strip gems. Why not I thought?! Normally I'd think it's overkill but weirdly I think it works.
It's gotten me over my fear of this stamp and how complicated it is and now that I see how well it works with blending it may become a new favourite...!
I LOVE this, it's so 70's disco!! Perfect for someone that is musical and girly. The strips of bling are nice touch. I want to see more cards with that girl stamp, she is pretty spesh. Cx
