CASology: Week 100 CELEBRATE

 

Many years ago I became fast friends with three other women through our work with our children's PTA.  We served on committees together, did paper drives, made cookies and soon joined a bunco group.  When I stopped playing bunco because I returned to college (by then both boys were in high school) we got together for our birthdays.  One thing we did have in common is we were all the same age and soon we turned 40, then 50 and now a really big milestone.  So having said that this card will go to the first in this group of friends who turns this number (shhhh! 70).  I did not take a photo of the inside of the card but it reads, "Some days ya gotta but on your boots and just dance - happy birthday."  She will love this card as she is one of my friends who loves any card I send her and we all know how good that makes us feel.  Personally I don't think my friends and myself look our age, not like my mother's generation.  Let's face it girls always want to have fun.

My usual routine is stamping with Versafine and heat embossing on Neenah paper.  I like doing this for most stamped images because it is more vibrant.  Then I colored with copics and a little At You Spica markers.  The corners were punched with a SU! corner punch no longer made and then I mounted the image onto a second piece of Neenah.

Stamps - Penny Black "The Sensations! 2887K, Unity "It's a Party"

Other - Copics, Versafine, Neenah, SU! corner punch, At You Spica, mounting tape

P. S. Congratulations to the CASology team of designers for making this such a fun challenge to enter. I am certainly not the cardmaker I was a year and half ago and looking back at my first cards is pretty funny and sometimes I feel like deleting them, but I won't because they are a learning tool. Thank you all for all the kind comments.
