This is a birthday card I made to go with the challenge this week over at Simon Says Stamp 'At The Movies'.
When I read the theme, I immediately thought of the cute Charlie Chaplin stamp I purchased several years ago from Stampers Best. The product showcased with this weeks theme is Spellbinders. I thought about trying to make some gears look like an old film tin, then I thought of using the Deckled Rectangle die to imitate an old photograph. Then I began to think of a card I could use with that theme. My oldest son is having a birthday soon and he's a non-traditional sort of guy...usually I try to add a Steampunk flair...but he does like black and he did purchase a vintage car at one point! So, I added the antique car from the Tim Holtz set, Visual Artistry, The Journey and the funny sentiment from Skipping Stones Design, You Know You're Gettin' Old Birthday set. I hope he will enjoy his card and appreciate the time and thought that went into creating it...
Thanks for stopping by!
This is such a fantastic card! I couldn't help but smile at the sentiment and the whole thing goes together so nicely! I also really enjoyed reading about your creative process and how you made this card so personalized for your son. I love the way that the rectangle die does replicated the edges of a vintage photo so well and the little movie strip goes perfectly with the other components. I'm sure your son will love this card-- I know I did! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! And on a personal note, I have to give a shout out to you as a resident of Heber City! Love hitting the Dairy Keen when we're in that neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning card and so clever! Love the deckled edge old photo effect of the die cut, what a great idea. And the fun sentiment and of course the Charlie Chaplin stamp. Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
