Card: Saint Nicholas

On Friday I received my first request to create a unique card. My customer asked me to create a special birthday card for his grandmother's 91st birthday. At once I was excited and honored to be entrusted with this. He wanted me to incorporate his grandmother's Italian and Catholic culture. I carefully researched her hometown in Italy and found that the patron saint was Saint Nicholas. The photo on the cover of the card is from the catholic church in that town.

Cardstock: Stampin Up whisper white card

Patterned Paper: Hambly Grandma's wallpaper screenprint

Ribbon: SU So Saffron, Yellow organza, SU Chocolate Chip taffeta

Embellishments: SU jewel brads, SU hodgepodge hardware aged copper (S Clip),Prima flower/leaf, Doodlebug jewel

Rubons: Creative Cafe alphabet, Simply Plaid pink roses

Scrapbook:Baby Girl

When I started this layout I knew I wanted to give it an ethereal and whimsical feel. I embellished the clear Heidi Swapp butterflies with alcohol inks and acrylic paints. Once they dried I attached them (painted side down) and added Hambly butterfly white rubons. The color palette is all Stampin'Up Simply Scrappin' Special Delivery girl. I added some DCWV Pocket full of posies glitter paper, brads, sticker quote, and a few more Hambly rubons at the corners.
