Sometimes I like to go up to the edge of the deep end when making cards to donate. I like to see if a card that's just a little bit crazy will sell. I'm happy to report, these two did sell, but it took a couple of weeks for the colonoscopy card to lure a buyer. he he
Here's a look at both. They have the same layout, but one is a portrait card and the other is landscape.
The mats are actually a charcoal color, rather than black.
I cut apart a leafy die-cut that looked like the ones in the DSP and added parts of it to the sentiment panel.
I also added a few tiny turquoise gems for some sparkle.
The rest of the leafy sprig was added to the inside.
Both the front and inside sentiments were printed with my computer.
The sentiment panels on both cards were popped up. I added the entire leafy sprig to the bottom of this one.
I saw these sentiments somewhere online--probably Pinterest--and I just had to use them. They both made me laugh, so I was pretty sure they'd make someone else laugh, too.
I liked the juxtaposition of having everything BUT the sentiment looking all dignified and respectable.
I decided to make this one a 50th birthday card, since that's the age when most people start getting colonoscopies. I know they are now suggesting folks start at 45, but I think it will take some time for that to become common practice.
These cards were fun to make. I may even make them again sometime!
Our summer is already shaping up to be a busy one. We have some graduations to attend and celebrate and a sightseeing trip planned. I hope those gas prices don't get much higher!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
