New Heights Stamp Set by Simply Gorjuss Urban Stamps was the inspiration for this birthday card for my mother-in-law. We all know someone in our lives who pushes us to be better versions of ourselves. My mother-in-law is one of those people, in my life, who pushes me to new heights.
From
130-lb white cardstock I cut out a triangle (math folks look away; it's not really a triangle. Yes, I know triangles only have three sides. I took creative liberty) quadrangle (is that really a word?) and layered on strips of
washi tape. I picked out the little ms. heights colours before I started my washi layering and selected my washi tape with those
colours in mind, so that the card was pulled together and had continuity. I also slipped in some tribute washi: music and Paris. My mother-in-law loves music and traveling.
The little butterfly and sign are both from this seven-piece set. Can you believe the level of cuteness? I know most of you have gasped at the complete disconnect with my usual more intense style (I can be cute. I own a smiling frog and a fox) but seriously how can you not love the Gorjuss series? I plan on getting many many more (look away mr. everythingshetouches). And if you live in the greater Edmonton area you too can find many of these darling stamp sets at The Inked Stamper.
I embossed the sign with my wood embossing folder and distressed the raised image with vintage photo distress ink. The butterfly was coloured using coloured pencils and highlighted with bronze stickles.
