I made this card for a parent at my son’s school to surprise her husband with a trip to Iceland to see the northern lights for his 60th birthday. It was nice to be able to mix and match various brands just for fun! I should do it more often – you know, in my spare time. LOL
I used HoneyBee Stamps’ incredible set of Winter Wonder Scene Builder stencils to create the different layers of mountains, terrain and even the northern lights. In my video, I state exactly which colours I use for the different layers but you can always find all of the distress ink colours listed in my supply list below.
I used Altenew’s Bold Numerals die set and fun foam to pop up the number 60 at the centre of the card. I tend to reach for these numbers dies when I have to customize a card. They make a big impact and they’re also large enough to accommodate small sentiments inside the numbers.
The Paper Smooches scripted Happy Birthday Words were die cut from olive green and black glitter cardstock, then layered to create a shadow effect and coordinate with the northern lights.
Thanks so much for watching!
Supplies:
Beautiful stencil work and a fantastic scene that makes for a great masculine design.
Emily, your card is spectacular, as is this surprise gift … i'd give anything to see his face! I'm betting she was very happy with it.
