Happy Birthday

I needed a couple of birthday cards

and as I wanted some easy cards, I asked Paulette

from Create with TLC for a birthday  subway art

sentiment and low and behold:

it was in my mailbox the next day.

I think that is awesome,so I wanted to share the link to her shop

with you, but she told me, that I could share the digital

stamp for free with you! Thank you very much,Paulette!

Just click on the digital image and save

it to your computer with the right mouse click.

And now for my card:

I have lots of backgrounds lying around that I made

with technique junkies technique and need to be used.

The background for this card is called Patchwork

Distress from the June/July 2014 newsletter.

And the stamps are from Club Scrap's  2010 Jubilee kit.

This is the inside of the card and as you see I have used up

every scrap that was there! The sentiment is from the 

same Club Scrap kit.

Just wrapped some ribbon around the background

and added 2 little rhinestones next to the word

celebrate to finish the card.

Here another sample with a 

Technique Junkie's background.

This is Pearly Gelatos Wash from April/May 2014.

A great way to use these background is to

use an embossing folder and add some ink

matching the color of the image.

I added an extra layer to this card with a piece of

designers paper. I have a lot of these blocks and

just have to make use of  it and this is a fun way.

A little star charm on the ribbon finishes the card.

Want to see another card? 

Well for this one you have to hop over to the 

Technique Junkies Blog.

Thanks for looking

and creative greetings,
