50th Birthday card for a man

My friend asked me to make a card for her husband who is 50 this year. He has his own band, writes his own songs/music, has albums for sale on Amazon and plays gigs regularly in London. So with this in mind I came up with this...

 It's all computer generated again. The 50 on the box was printed onto card, hand cut and then painted with Tim Holtz Brushed Pewter Distress paint. The treble clef the same but coloured with Zig Wink of Stella Red brush pen. None of the artwork is mine and I take no credit for it.

PS, the bars of music on the box are "Happy Birthday To You"

Alice Cooper Birthday card !!!

My niece was 7 years old on the 1st April, and she's a big Alice Cooper fan !!! So that's what she got...

All computer generated, no real work involved but she loved it.

Nightmare before Christmas Valentines day card

Haven't made this to send to anyone (I'm VERY happy being single) and I haven't made it for anyone else to give. I made it because I wanted to ...

Dies used -
Impression Obsession - Heart Stems
Nini's Things - Flourish Heat Frame
Cheery Lynn - Chicken Wire Frame

Papers used have been in my stash for AGES so I won't bother listing them as they are no longer available.

The sentiment inside the card is called "Anything Else" by Lang Leav

The large hearts on the front and inside of card are hand cut.

Took my inspiration from this card. Sorry don't have the link!

Take care and keep smiling :)

Peaky Blinders Birthday Card

It's my friend Val's birthday and she very much likes the TV series Peaky Blinders or should I say she very much likes the leading man. Again it's not something I watch but after some searching on Google about it I think I may have managed to make a card that captures the program...

 Apart from the obvious it's all computer generated with images not of my making so I take no credit for them. The backing paper was an image I found printed it in black and white and then used Tim Holtz's distress inks to add colour. Oh and the circle on the front of the box is from Tonic Studios.

Take care and keep smiling

Art Deco 30th Birthday Card

I remember saying once that Art Deco was too hard to do but now I've got used to it. I've found that the simpler it is the better it looks :)

 The glitter card I got from Laura-Lea on eBay
The silver embossed card, blue silk card and black satin mirri card (used on the cutout figure, yes the figure is all hand cut) and the die for the "30" from Tonic Studios.
The number 30 on the front of the card was hand cut.
Here are the original pictures that inspired the card
