Today's post is a very special birthday card.
The card base is Recollections Black. The image is cut with a variety of Spellbinders circle dies from Recollections White and Black and a yellow Bazzill and is layered on a white of unknown origin and more Recollections Black and yellow Bazzill. The number was cut from Recollections Black with Provo Craft Wordsworth Olivia die. The sentiment is Altenew Birthday Builder stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with Stampin' Up white embossing powder.
My neighbor is celebrating his 50th this coming Saturday and so he needed a very special card. He is a huge Boston Bruins fan so I thought replicating the team logo would be eminently suitable for a milestone birthday card. This card was not as straightforward as I anticipated. Finding the appropriate colour was easy but cutting and adhering all the elements was a labor of love! The most challenging aspects were the stripes within the circle which had to be trimmed, carefully, by hand, so the intersection would be flat. The final result was better than I anticipated! I think this is one of my favourite custom birthday cards ever!
I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
