Another Rock Trumpet Birthday Card

Hi everyone - hope you're having a great weekend!! I played at Craft Roulette Episode #290 tonight, finishing my card just before the show ended. Didn't have time to upload during the LIVE but no worries. There's plenty of time for submission (go to CraftRoulette.live for details).


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Recollections A2 card
Stamps w/dies - Altenew Rock Trumpet (sold out)
Other - Copic Markers; SSS sentiment strips
and Starshine dots

Host Mary Gunn had Sara Lihz Staroska (‪@sassysllc‬) as her guest. I just saw Sara Lihz last weekend; she presented a session during an online Stress Free Cardmaking Summit. As usual, the crafty wheel was spun four times for the necessary parameters:


  • Project - Card for Friend(s): I created a birthday card for a friend. 
  • Colors - Bright Colors: I chose bright pink/green/yellow/aqua. 
  • Element - Happy: Sentiment has "happy" in it. 
  • Random - Partial image: The stamped flower image is about 8x5.5" so I used only part of it on this A2 card.
I had a stamped Rock Trumpet panel sitting on top of a stack of stuff - decided to use it. I colored just part of it with Copics, die cut it and then trimmed off the excess to fit on an A2 card. Some printed sentiment strips and Starshine dots finished it off. I didn't pop anything with foam tape, just adhered directly to the card. Nice & flat for mailing. Here's a view of the whole image, partially colored:


You can see another card with the Rock Trumpet HERE. I used the coordinating stencils to color that one. It's such a large image, it easily filled an A9 sized card!

I will play at Seize the Birthday #316 using the Anything Goes Option. Sorry STB friends, I rarely seem to do the topping... It's a good one this week, though, so maybe I'll try again later. Oh, and by the way, my Lawn Fawn party mice card won for Challenge #315 - so exciting - thanks!!

That's it friends! If I haven't commented on your blogs, it's because I've been busy watching the Sweet Adelines International convention via webcast. They've been in Columbus Ohio all week with loads of singing contests, quartet and chorus. The chorus finals are tomorrow & I can't wait to see who wins!!

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!!
