Happy Monday!
Glad to be sharing tonight after having a rough two days...I was fighting what I thought was a losing battle with the camera. Although I have been taking pictures with our Nikon camera with little difficutly, the camera decided not to be my friend. I was about to toss it in the trash and call it a day. After venting, chatting with a few crafty friends, and searching the internet for photography tips...I decided it would be okay. Then Theresa (thank you again Theresa) sent me a message letting me know I won at MFT and I started doing the happy dance (actually seat dancing since I was on my way home from the grocery store). I don't know what is wrong with my camera/lens, but tomorrow is another day to try and figure it out.
This was one of the cards I made just before my camera issues. I needed to make a masculine card, but I also wanted to try the raised word technique. After choosing the pattern paper, I placed the happy die where I wanted it and ran it through the Cuttlebug. I cut "happy" 4 more times, then stacked and glued it together.
The word "happy" has a camouflaged look. The video I watched said to add the small pieces that were cut out (A and P), but I like the pop of color so it doesn't completely blend in. I cut birthday in the same color as the frame.
The MFT birthday candles were stamped with diagonal lines going in the opposite direction of the background paper. I turned the hearts upside down, so they would look like a small flame.
Looking forward to a busy week...dentist appointment tomorrow, my daughter's surgery re-check is Wednesday, and lots of crafty projects in the works.
Stay Creative,
Georgiana

Georgiana, this is lovely! The raised word technique looks fabulous and I love it for a masculine card where it is more difficult to add little extras. Beautifully done, my friend! I'm sorry to hear about your camera issues and hope everything plays nice for you soon. :)
