I made this card a few weeks ago to send to my nephew who turned 20 (where did the time go I remember when he was born). He is passionate about Manchester United football club. I know you can put your sympathy wishes in the comments box. Because we love him we haven't disowned him for his poor taste! He is training as a carpenter and of course like every young person in England totes around his mobile. So although the images are rather jumbled they suit him and the occasion to a T (square!).The embossing was with Happy Birthday cuttlebug folder that I inked up. The tool's segment is done with Clear Dollar Stamps Heavy Metal and Tool Time sets. The phone is a stamp from Stampendous. and the ruler is ribbon I picked up at Michaels.I'm not over the moon with this card - However, it was the best I could come up with including all the elements I wanted to include so I hope he liked it.BTW you wouldn't believe how long I took to colour in that phone!!!! I probably should have highlighted it all on its own! LOLIngredients-Cardstock - Bazzill, Georgia PacificStamps - Clear Dollar Stamps, StampendousInk - Memento, Versafine, Markers- CopicAccessories - Cuttlebug "Happy Birthday", ribbon Michaels.
There is no other way to describe these cards in my opinion. A fantastic stamp from VivaLasVegastamps and some alphabet stamps/sentiment and voila - a simple card that I think is quite effective and I hope brightens the day of the recipients of Mr O - who wouldn't want to receive a Mr O? And the people getting these definitely deserve them!Mr O - is stamped with Brilliance Dew Drops Galaxy Gold. "The Winner is..." is my clear alphabet stamps Sophie. Stamped in Tsukineko Aegean Blue. "Thanks a bunch" is a Stampendous stamp stamped with Tsukineko 
Perfect Plumeria.The notelets I bought at Wally's World and I decided as the notecard is so simplistic that the envie could do with a little help too.What you can't pick up with the camera is just how much that ink is still shimmering on the paper- I girl really has to have a bit of glitz with the glamour now doesn't she!Hope you like. I have been very busy whilst I have been AWOL over the last couple of weeks and can't wait to share with you all the fun stuff I have been up to - including my first altered item!!!! beads, and lots of fun techniques that I have found out about on Splitcoaststampers!
Firstly, sorry to keep everyone waiting for the reveal - we have had some quite strange weather here, and its made international news. Everything seemed to skip over us though it was confirmed today that the distant train sound I heard was most probably an EF2 tornado that touched down a few miles from here. The loss of life in "The South" is really too dreadful to contemplate with many still missing. We have a weather radio that seemed to never stop signalling on Tuesday to take cover and we just about heard the towns sirens going off, (though I know many people that slept through it - Yikes!) When I heard the sirens I got the family out of bed and went down to the basement to take cover for about 45 minutes. I'm thankful we are all safe and sound.Well as promised here is the reveal and I am quite happy with it - sorry if anyone is disappointed LOL.
The BG and Dress stamps are from I Brake for Stamps. The BG is white brilliance stamped on black linen effect cardstock from Michael's. The purple dress is pearlescent cardstock I picked up at Michael's, the hanger is coated with Sakura white pen, the dress is highlighted with Sakura glitter gel pen in purple and I used a cut down christmas ornament hanger for the wire. The other dress was stamped on K&Company paper (Brenda Walton line). The stamps for the verse are Clear stamps stamped with Archival Black and the heart was filled in with Sakura pink Souffle pen. The embossed dots were made with my Crop-a-dile after I found the technique on Splitcoast Stampers in the gallery - though my hand really ached after completing the set!Hope you like and can I just say that Della from I Brake for Stamps is lovely to deal with. These stamps were from my first order and I am planning on many more in the future!
