My first card

Here is my first card:

1. I took a piece of glossy card stock and cut it to be slightly smaller than the front of my card. I then inked it with two shades of blue and one purple alcohol ink. You can’t see it in this photo, but I inked the edges of the alcohol card with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.
2. I stamped the “Happy Birthday” message on the front using black archival ink.
3. I tied a short piece of blue raffia in a knot, attached it to the card with glossy accents, then spread the raffia apart to resemble a bow.
4. I put the memo pin through the card, after attaching a small charm to it that says “live your dream”.
5. I then used glue dots to attach the inked piece to the front of a white card.

I’m pretty pleased with it overall, although I really don’t care for the memo pins…but live and learn!
