For Beck

It was my sister's birthday last week and we threw her a surprise party on Sunday. As such, I needed to make her a card.

Becky likes to scrapbook and has a definite style. She likes it distressed and likes her edges inked. So, it made it very easy to make her a card!!

I took a piece of brown scrapbook paper and stamped some background images from my Spills & Splatters set. I haven't used that set in so long, but I really like it. I had kind of forgotten about it. Then I stamped the main image (the words) in black (it is from Urban Tapestry). I added a little butterfly in a couple of places (from Urban Chic) and then one of my Tim Holtz embellishments. I was reading his blog the other day and he painted one of these tags with a white paint dauber and then wiped off the paint. It stuck to the recessed words and looked pretty cool. I distressed the edges with my Distress It All (which is her favorite tool) and then inked them with some black and adhered it to a brown base.

It came together quite quickly and I really like how it turned out. I knew she'd love it. Of course, when I showed my husband, he said it looked like a boy card, but what does he know, right?? She did love it.
