Today is my brother-in-laws birthday. I couldn't decide what theme to use for his card so had a look through my Nostalgia cd-rom from Joanna Sheen. This is the card I came up with:
I'm really pleased with how this came out. I always seem to struggle with stepper cards and had to work out my own dimensions for this one. I printed a backing paper from the cd-rom onto card stock to produce my base card. The images are all printed onto glossy photo paper and matted onto gold linen card. The sentiments are Lili of the Valley using versafine ink. All the sentiments are matted onto gold linen card too, the circular sentiment mats cut using a Nellie Snellen Lily die which I got for Christmas.
My card is for the following challenges:
Joanna Sheen Challenge - Celebrations
Bunny Zoe Crafts - Fancy Folds
Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Anything Goes
Top Tip Tuesday - Anything Goes
Pile it on challenge - Anything Goes
Paper Sundaes Challenge - Something Old (Stamps) Something New (Dies)
Ladybug Crafts Ink - Use new stash (Dies)
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Great card idea Jo. Good for you getting the stepper worked out!
I thought at first you had used a photo of BIL until I looked closer. What do you think - new glasses needed? LOL
Have a good one today!
