Time To Celebrate

I was recently asked to make an 18th birthday card using some photos from when the recipient was much younger.  Here is what I came up with:

8 x 8 card blank

Backing papers from a Crafters Companion cd-rom,  I chose this backing paper choosing a colour and the pattern on the curtains.

Core'dinations card was used for all the matting.

I put an eyelet in each corner and threaded bakers twine through them.  

Spellbinders Labels 22 were using to create that mats for the photos.

The stars were all cut using a die'namics die.

The sentiment is from Lili Of The Valley.

I stamped the number 18 using Dimensions stamps onto shrink plastic.  I coloured the numbers using metallic pens before shrinking the plastic.

My card is for the following challenges:

Here Come The Boys - Bingo - I chose twine, die cuts and free (photos)

Allsorts Challenge- Masculine

Make My Monday - One For The Boys

Creative Inspirations Challenge - One For The Boys

Natalie and Amy's Challenge - Something Old (dies) something new (sentiment stamp)
