You're old school and cool! Bday Card

Created this Birthday Card for my older sister whose birthday is Aug 3 and she's a school teacher.

Created the background by using black cardstock, Cuttlebug Typeset embossing folder & white ink. On white cardstock I stamped the Hero Arts typewriter and then stamped the HA sentiment. Cut the typewriter w/ sentiment out using scissors. Popped the typewriter up with foam adhesive.



























Supplies List

ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, studio g white
machine: Sizzix BIGkick
