It's hard to believe my youngest is now 41, but that's a fact! Tracy and I celebrated with Matt and Betsy on Saturday night at his favorite restaurant. Tonight we joined them for cake and opening presents.
And a photo of my granddaughters being a bit goofier than usual. Their power was out due to high winds here so we celebrated at Betsy's father's house. I'm not sure that's an excuse but they were more wound up than usual. No outage here, but we have a generator so we wouldn't be without power for long.
Here's Matt's birthday card:
I embossed Uniko's Block Arts Décoratifs in gold on True Black cardstock. I knew I wanted to use my Iuile metallic watercolors but knew I wouldn't need a lot of water to do what I intended so went with standard cardstock instead of watercolor paper.
I wanted to try a "fade out" technique with the gold metallic watercolor. It turned out to be pretty easy to do, and I like the end result.
The Pinkfresh Studio Basic Banners: Celebrate was embossed with gold and die cut with the matching die. I started this card with a couple of challenges in mind, but in the end it wasn't CAS enough to enter in any of them.
