Light Bulb birthday card.

 Hi Everyone, I have been lax in posting and comments, I'm apologising again, in between other things, I have also been ill with some sort of virus, don't know if it was Covid, but I felt quite ill. OH! Well, hopefully the year will improve from now on. As I sit here typing, the sun is out and making everything seem wonderful. At last!

My card today was for my Hubby's birthday in April, yep! I'm that far behind. Be warned, this post is picture heavy.

Anyhow, there are a few images to show you. I started off, by choosing a light bulb stamp, which was then followed by light bulb digital paper, which I changed the background colour from white to blue. I designed the card in Photoshop, I did the sentiment on the front, a little joke? In blue to match the paper. It was printed and sized for the 7inch x 10 inch card, larger than I usually make, but he is pretty special. I then printed out the light bulb paper and cut it to size. 

I stamped, coloured and die cut the bulb, placed it onto the paper and worked out where I wanted it. I then stamped the rays, the bulb paper was attached, and the bulb was 3D'd onto the main front piece under the rays, next the bottom sentiment was also 3D'd onto the lightbulb paper.  They were added to blue card and then attached to the base card, I had cut to make the card.

I didn't know what to  do with the insert, so, went searching for verses for hubby. I found one, that I liked and went about designing the pages in Photoshop, I used Photoshop shapes for hearts and coloured them. I wrote the verses on each page, changing the position of the hearts. They were printed out and added to the centre of the card. I'm glad to say he liked his card.
