Birthday Card for Hubby

When I saw this cute Headband Bunny over at Hambo Stamps I knew this would make a perfect card for my now "gray" hubby on his 60th birthday!

When I found the gray swirly DP in my digital files I knew they would make a perfect background for the Headband Bunny.  I had to cut him out digitally to mount him on the background using my Storybook Creator 4.0 software.  I used my Spellbinders Matting Basics A & B to cut him out and mount him on the DP and also for the flag.  I used my new Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder on the platinum shimmer cardstock and topped the flag with a black and silver Candi.

An update on Storybook Creator tells us that the Panstoria Company (original creators of SBC software) will take over product support for Storybook Creator and Memory Manager from Creative Memories.  This gave me a big sigh of relief because I love Storybook Creator and Memory Manager software.

Happy Crafting!

OWH Rebel Challenge #5

Operation Write Home's Rebel Challenge #5 asked you to use five elements on your card.  This was a difficult one for me but here it goes.  1) I computer generated the Happiness sentiment , cut it out and glued it to the paper 2) I inked the embossing folder (Cuttlebug Pagoda) using Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Peeled Paint and embossed the paper 3) I stamped the oriental characters (Stampin'Up! Kimono) on the paper 4) I applied two CANDI brads and  5) the ribbon.

Happy Crafting!
