93rd Birthday

Hi and welcome.  I'm the hostess over at Freshly Made Sketches this week but this is a quick post because I've got some things to deal with in real life.

This card was made a few months ago for my dad's 93rd birthday.  I thought it would work for my sketch so I based my sketch off it.


For a very quick explanation, I used stencils and soft ink-blending for the muted background and ink-blended die-cuts for the focal point.


Thanks for visiting.  I hope you'll check out the wonderful cards made by the rest of the design team and have a go yourselves.
