Gerry Morse
is my humor muse so decided to CASE her today for my dear friend Sandy’s
Birthday. She also used a Bugaboo image
and it’s JJ, so it was meant to be. Here
is Gerry’s card http://stamptv.ning.com/photo/cooking-with-wine?context=user
JJ Cooking with Wine. And here is my take on Gerry’s card. Since my image isn’t really about wine, I kept
the cardstock white but for detail I used a new Spellbinders detail emboss die
set for interest. Now for the rest of
the story…
I had a
little time today, so got a birthday card made and off to a dear friend who has
her birthday on Ground Hogs day. Sandy
has a very good sense of humor, so thought this would be a good fit. This very humorous image is from Bugaboo called JJ
Tequila and Shoes instant fun and the character is JJ. JJ reminds me of “me” with the reading glasses perched on
her nose and silver hair, like mine.
Colored her in pretty grays and reds and created the sentiment using
Photoshop Elements 9 from a funny joke in the newspaper that I filed away. Thought it would work well with JJ here. The birthday sentiment is from GinaK Designs
Framed Greetings stamp set. So Happy
Birthday dear Sandy, I hope you like it.
What a fun card. I love that sassy lady!

ReplyDeleteGreat card Barbara!! Thanks for the mention. I'm a little late on commenting because after we got to MN I came down with pneumonia. I'm feeling better and am back to "directing" my daughter & d-i-l on cleaning out cabinets, closets & such. Can't wait to get back home.
