Make it Monday: A 21st Birthday!

Hello friends! I had lots of fun making this card for the bass player in my church band (inspired by a design from Brandys Cards):

Here are some of the retired products I used:

Inking up the Simple Stripes Embossing Folder like this, and running the cardstock through an embossing machine …

… added some really great texture! I’m happy to report that cold running water easily washed off all the ink 🙂

I coloured the guitar with Stampin’ Blends then fussy cut it out using my favourite EK Success Cutter Bee scissors:

A bit more snipping to separate the words:

And the numbers were die-cut from the Be Dazzling Specialty Paper:

I also added Wink of Stella to the guitar for extra sparkle 🙂

MEANWHILE… this has just been announced!!! Andrew and Sarah are overjoyed and we’re thrilled for them (and so exited to welcome a second precious grandchild!):

Thanks so much for spending some time with me and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week. 🙂 Megan xo
