Birthday Postcard Gift

I made another birthday gift using a vintage postcard the other day for Andrew’s step-mom Clare:

I liked the colors in this card – the cool blues and greens…I also added a green crystal drop on the bottom for even a little more color.

I used the silver scallop-edge tape with some copper patina – there’s a little bit of copper in the postcard image and I wanted to pick that up.

I wish I would have added some glitter to the image before I put it under the beveled glass…oh well.  It’s pretty anyway, don’t you think?

Happy Birthday, Matthew!

My little boy is NINE years old today – I can’t believe it!

Nine year old boys are so goofy – I tried to take a nice picture of him this morning to put on my blog…this is what I got:

Not exactly portrait-quality!  Oh well…I tried – I love you, Matt!
