A friend asked me to make her a couple of birthday cards to hand out to the staff at her school through the coming year. This is the first one :
The 'happy' was cut with my Silhouette cameo. The font used to make the cut is called : bauhaus 93.
I applied the straight knife to slice the letters approximately 1/3 from the top. The upper part was cut from white card stock, and the lower part from black card stock.
I am joining the following challenges :
Casology ~ CONTRAST
To create contrast I immediately thought black & white.
I also used 2 contrasting fonts. One big and bold, and one smaller and in a opposite direction.
Addicted to stamps ~ CAS
Seize the birthday ~ BIRTHDAY (anything goes)
I have a free printable to share, using the same font as the one I used for my card.
If you think you might be able to use this, I would love to hear from you!
Thanks for looking!
Wow hou van dié swart en wit nommertjie. Is self besig om bietjie te speel met die swart en wit idee.
ReplyDeleteMooi dag vir jou!
Wow Hannelie... het gaat je weer goed af. Wat een sterke kaart! En ook de love- en de thanks-kaartjes vind ik geweldig!

Een goed idee om het lettertype door te snijden, zo wordt het een interessante kaart! Leuk ook dat je een printable weggeeft.
