Hello Everyone

I had to make a Birthday card for a friend of mine's boyfriend and so I used the Teens Collection from FabScraps, which was perfect for a masculine card.

SuperStar - FabScraps Teens

Hello Everyone

I have some FabScraps pages that I want to share with you and today is one that I really love!
It's a boy page of my boy! ;-)

I used the cool and funky Teens Collection and I am really so happy, with how this page turned out!

I had so much fun making this page....lots of paint, watercolours, stamping and crackle paste.

I used black embossing powder for the title and just made it shiny and also made it pop! ;-)

I used a lot of die-cuts too and the stars and circles were perfect for this page.

The circle chipboard I embossed with weathered embossing powder and love the textured result that it gave.

I hope to have a tutorial up soon for this page. So please pop back, I am sure to have it up fairly soon.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a super evening!

Birthday Card - Teens Collection FabScraps

Hello Everyone

Yesterday we went to a Birthday party for one of my son's friends and so I quickly had to put a card together for him.

The Teens Collection from Fabscraps was perfect for this boys card.

I did a little bit of crackle paste, using one of the FabScraps stencils. I then also added some stamping with my favourite Prima stamps! ;-)

Here's a closer look.

And lastly a look inside, as I carried the theme trhough.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by.
I hope you had a super Saturday!
Cheers for now.
