it's my co-worker's birthday, so i decided to make her a birthday card and found some inspiration in my Take Ten magazine. i used the same red, white and black color scheme, and thought that ladybugs would go good in place of the flowers.
so, i stamped the ladybugs on the top and bottom edges of the card in black and colored them in red. then i cut the checkered black and white paper to fit in between the borders of bugs. cut a small rectangle of black glitter paper and centered it in the middle of the checkered paper. finally, i stamped the happy birthday sentiment from my Stampin' Up happy everything set in black in on plain white cardstock. i cut the sentiment to fit and trimmed the corners using the Stampin' Up ticket corner punch. the glitter paper makes it difficult to adhere anything to it, so i punched holes in the middle of the short sides and attached the sentiment using red heart-shaped brads.
i even bought her a matching Target giftcard. :) everything is red and black and white!
happy birthday, Erica!
