Hello everyone,
Back with another project, this time is was a commissioned card for a lady who is very, very, Scottish...so what can I do....no pressure!
The first thing I did was went online to find out her clan colours and tartan pattern.
and thought of butterflies using Tim Holtz dies and mixing the solid with tartan.
And led to a rose with tartan details and buds.
Red bodies were not working..
Gold was needed for a lift..
Oh, and had to have matching roses with the gold..
Found a silhouette dancer, needed her, she was going to be my center piece as the lady was a highland dancer 60 years ago..
Roses and leaves getting put in place..
Gold sentiments all die cut out and in place along with a huge 90th.
on the box lid..
and her name!!!!mmm, not working.
Made a box for the card to go into and it's lid,
which was still not working for me..
Card standing up..
Nope, not working..
Loved the card, it came together perfectly for me.
Lid, nope.... have to fix that!
Ahhh..there we go, that is much better,
it is for ALI and she needs to see her name in lights..
I painted the letters out, layer quite a few up so it was as thick as chipboard,
painted them white then added a gold crackle stamp on top and
heat embossed..
So there we go, I was happy, the purchaser was happy, and ALI was thrilled to bits, bless her..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
Luv CHRISSYxx

A beautiful card for this lady Chrissy, you were so right to give her name abit of a lift, it all came together perfectly.
Hope you enjoyed your Saturday, mine is just starting.xx
Gorgeous project with the fab tartan DP. Love the flowers and butterflies. Great idea to make the name in lighter letters.

This is amazing Chrissy- I love the thought you put into creating this very original card- talk about the extra mile! Perfectly designed to suit the recipient from the lovely Highland dancer to those gorgeous butterflies- using the clan tartan was inspired! I'm sure it made Ali's day!

These are so bright and beautiful Chrissy! I'm loving those plaid papers and your images really stand out nicely against them! The personalized card is very sweet and that silhouette dancer is brilliant too!
A great outcome and a gorgeous card. You definitely aced the request!!
Wow! This is awesome! I've never seen anyone use plaid for a butterfly before I don't think and I absolutely LOVE them! Beautiful card and box. So sweet and pretty.

Oh my I just love what you came up with in the end, the flowers are gorgeous with the gold highlighting, I love all the golden touches! I do like how her name really stands out in the end!
Absolutely outstanding and individual Chrissy I bet she LOVED it xx
This is fabulous. It probably resulted in the birthday girl dancing a lovely jig.
I think you're amazing to go to such lengths to personalize a card for your friend and it turned out absolutely stunning! I love the plaid butterflies, the box you created to hold it, and all those very special details you carefully designed! Gorgeous! Thanks for playing along with the first Triple B Challenge!
