Birthday Wishes Steampunk Style!

Hey everybody,
   Back with another post, this time I'm sharing one of my birthday gifts.  This year I challenged my paper-crafting BBF Lesia from Mema's Crafts, to make a b-day card for me that included (1) a derivative of my favorite colour (which is red), her challenge was to use PINK and (2) one of my favorite styles...STEAMPUNK.  She did a crazy amazing job!!! I-LOVE-IT! and I think you'll love it to.  She fussed about the challenge all through creating this card. So, I had no idea what it was going be like.  I was thrilled to def when I saw it.  The inside is really cute too, she kept the theme flowing all the way through. Wonderful job Lesi-Les!  You rocked it girly-girl, just like I knew you would.  To see more of her beautiful works, click on the link above and check out her blog.  Can you believe I was the teacher, years ago?  Now, she has totally left me in the dust with the card making.  I call her the Card Whisperer (lol).  When I want to make a fancy card, I usually consult her first.   Check out my b-day card below.   Enjoy, til' next time...

 

I love the hardware and the postage stamps. After she coloured the image, she popped it up on some foam, added some lovely WOC flowers, and she used several Tim Holtz dies.  The inking really gives a vintage feel.  Awesome!!!!!!!
