Trainers birthday card

 Hi everyone, a card today, for another nephew, it's lovely having a large family. Anyhow, as he is also a runner, most are now, in the family. I cased a card I did here.

 I cut the circle dies, then inked the bottom one with DI, I cut the clock die and also used DO to wipe over it. The trainers were stamped and fussy cut, I hate doing that, as I'm not good at it, then coloured with DI's. I didn't have what I wanted as a sentiment, so generated it in Photoshop, using 3 different fonts, the front is Amienne. The sentiment was printed and die cut then 3D'd onto the card.

The insert fonts are Amienne for the first and last words, "happiest" is the font Blackjack, and the swashes on the front and back of "happiest" is Alterlight Swashes, that I added. I found some free trainer images on the web to add a little something inside. The sentiment on the front was printed and die cut and 3D'd.

circle dies - lost packaging (very old)
clock die - Amazon, (an old one) 
sneakers - Magazine freebies
ink - Distress Inks. blueprint sketch, scorched timber

 
the simple insert

  2. What a thoughtful and personalized card for your nephew, especially tailored to his love for running! The layered circle dies and inked clock add such a dynamic touch to the design. The sentiment, generated in Photoshop with a mix of fonts, adds a unique and heartfelt element to the card. It's evident how much care and effort you put into creating this special greeting for him.

  11. Very stylish card Faith, love how you generated the sentiment with the different fonts - I’m useless with incorporating anything from the PC into my crafting and in any case our printer currently has a mind of its own and has gone on strike!!
