After five months, notwithstanding Christmas In July, today's post is the last in the birthday card series that was commissioned by a local Senior's residence. This was, by far, the largest commission I've ever received and overall I'm extremely pleased with the results.
This last birthday card is a lovely and simple card.
The printed paper is of unknown origin layered on a beige and a dusty rose Bazzill. The sentiment is Stampin' Up Happy Wishes stamped in Altenew Moon Rock on Recollections Vanilla. The card is highlighted with Platinum Liquid Pearls.
This was a great piece of paper on which to stamp a sentiment. I've not used this particular set all that often because it's possibilities are pretty numerous and I need to do a bit of experimenting. In this case, inspired by the relative neutral-ness of the overall style, I was encouraged to keep the sentiment monochromatic. I'm not all that happy with the dots of Liquid Pearls as I think less would have ended up being more. Who knew that applying a few embellishing dots would be so complex? I still think this is a great card.
I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
