How about a birthday card. My card features an adorable set of stamps/dies from Studio Katia, including the punny sentiment of happy bear-thday. The images are colored with pencils and displayed on a die-cut stitched square from I-O. For even more fun, I added some puzzle-shaped pieces that have other birthday-related words. (I'm not sure where I got these puzzle pieces originally -- possibly at a yard sale -- and I'm not sure of their purpose. They are thin, like strong foil, and have no adhesive, so I don't think they were intended for this kind of use. And I don't think they'll actually fit together as if you're making a jigsaw puzzle, so they're a mystery to me. If you have any ideas, drop a comment, please.) The main square is sponged with blue ink, and a few acrylic dots finish the card off.

Loved your card and your explanation - I'm always finding random "Things" that work on cards but are definitely not intended to do so!! It's all in the creativity......right??? The puzzle pieces are just "fun" and work so well with a birthday theme. Thanks so much for sharing your creation with us at PIP Challenges this week - we look forward to seeing more of your creations!!
ReplyDeleteThis is an adorable card, Sandy! I love how you sponged the ink on the background. That is such a soft and wonderful look. That image is adorable too, but what I really love is the sentiment. I am always up for a good pun. I love how you used puzzle pieces that you bought at a yard sale, even though they weren’t meant for card making. Very clever! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We always appreciate your participation!
