Napkin Birthday

 

WT982 - Napkins

I realized that I have a huge amount of napkins in my craft room that several friends and family have given me. For this card I used a napkin from my husband's aunt. I showed her years ago how to attach napkins to cards and she went out and bought a bunch of napkins and sent me a large selection. I love so many of them. 

This card was very quick. I attached the napkin, added the birthday sentiment and finished with a few mirror gems.

Masculine Birthday

 

SC991 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

USEIT2024 - Image

I am getting close to having the stack of images colored and used up. It has been a goal to get them all used, and I had hoped to finish last year. Alas I ran out of time, so I am not adding a new crafty goal to my 2024 as I still have 2, I am trying to finish.

My two goals is to finish using up items that are in a tote on my desk. I have been working on this tote for the last 4 years. It is very slowly getting cleared out but there is still a long way to go. My 2nd goal is to finish coloring and using up a stack of images that were either stamped and sent to me or I stamped or printed off to color. It was out of control, and I am nearly done with using them up.

For this card I used this gun image and colored it with pencils. I then cut the layers and added some silver mirror card stock. The card was finished with a few red pearls.

My nephew is in school to be a gunsmith, so this card is perfect for him.
