Happy 18th Birthday Ikenna.....

Was asked to make an 18th Birthday card featuring his football team, a football and a boot. Despite the fact that I had a small amount of silicone glue left to produce the 3d effect, trust me when I say that I squeezed that tube DRY.........

Hope......

This Birthday card was to inspire a young man on the new direction that he had decided to take and to say 'Anything is possible, follow your Dreams'.......

Print was from Gvartwork (blog no longer exists) The card above is the result of using the print. The decoupage on the card inside speaks for itself.....

My Own Advice...

I've been told on many occasions that I'm good with the advice, shame that sometimes I don't listen to it myself....Was asked to make another couple of Women cards, my instructions were to make a 30th Birthday card similar to a previous silver and black version; and the second card was to be exactly the same as the silver version just a different name. Did I do what I was asked.....1 card was accepted the other rejected because of my hard ears, so I had to do another silver version as instructed in the beginning.

As usual used The Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder, Blk Mirri paper, Gold Glittered adhesive vinyl. The Digital Cutting Template was a combination from UKScrappers membership is required for free site access (click on link.)

Oh Yes Success finally....

She changed her mind about the front of the card, (see original above) she did'nt like the vertical positioning of the fonts, I explained that it was representing a filmstrip but she was having none of it and she asked if I could make another card. Of course I said OK and promised that she would receive it Friday via another work colleague. I was determined that the original card was going to be remodelled, so did a second revamp; but I did'nt like it because I kept on seeing Harry instead of Happy. Finally!!!

All my friends know I require feedback ASAP, well at about 4:30pm Friday 29th May my friend called and was extremely happy with the revamped card.
