21st Birthday

     My neice turns 21 this week. She can now legally do everything she has been doing since she's been 16. (hehe).  The best thing about making cards is that one can design the card based on the receiver's personality. There is a lot of symbolism with this card. Here's a brief explanation.  I love her dearly. She's a singer in a band and she also writes her own music. Country Pop is her style. Hopefully, one day she'll be a star.  She's already a star in my book.

   I sponged the background of the rustic white panel using Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet and Pixie Dust inks to create the gradiation.  This was the first time I tried something like this, and I am very happy with the outcome.
    The sheet music background was stamped in London Fog. I still haven't mastered the techniques of stamping off on another piece of paper first. So when I stamped it onto the card panel, the image was uneven.  I had to do it a 2nd time. I was off somewhat with my stamp placement, but I think I managed to conceal the major errors.

Thanks for stopping by.
