Happy Birthday Mr Fixit!

Birthday for Mr Fixit ....... 66 ...... one year closer to being an  'official' Aged Pensioner!

 

I had a bit of fun with his card - his favourite show (and mine) is Star Trek (the whole franchise actually).

 

The Altenew Vintage Vibes stamps & dies were the perfect choice!  I managed to find a Star Trek image on the internet (PNGwing)  - the hardest part was sizing it small enough to fit in the 'TV Screen'.

 

I stamped all the layers of the TV, then die cut it out twice and joined the layers together for added dimension.

  

 

 

The background is a snippett of scrapbook/DP that has been in my stash for so long.  It was die cut with the Waffle Flower A6 Layers die and I used the outer edge of a Spellbinders circle die to draw part of a circle and hand cut the top right hand corner, which was then added to the cardfront using double-sided tape.

 

 

The assembled diecut TV was then mounted to the front with foam tape for added dimension.

Sentiment was stamped with black ink.

 

NO bling was added to this card! 

 

Linking with the following challenges: 

 

As You Like It challenge asks for our Favourite card - square or not.  I do like a square card, but the traditional rectangle is my 'go to' - A5 size (half of an A4, folded in half)  I do mostly in portrait mode, but occasionally landscape mode.

 

Cut-it-Up Challenge #340 - Use more than one die - I have used the Vintage Vibes TV die, and a Waffle Flower A6 layers die AND using the outer edge of a Spellbinders circle die to get the round corner.

 

Cardz 4 Guyz #378 - Autumn/Fall - I have used Autumn/Fall colours.
