Birthday Card


Here's a birthday card I made for my friend Kathy -- who shares the same birthday as me, but she is 9 years older!!!

I think the fun foam is, well, really fun! I used the fun foam for the brown background for the stamped image and for the stars (Sizzix die cut). The stamp & ink are from Stampin' Up. Striped paper from my scrap stash and the blue-ish paper is Club Scrap (also a big stash of that but such wonderful textures).

The picture is with my new D700 -- I have some more to learn and need to get Photoshop for editing. I had/have a bit of learning to make my SB28 flash work with the new camera since it won't work in TTL (through the lens)..... The built-in flash is too close to the body of the camera and casts a shadow if I don't remove the lens hood.

Keep watching for photo improvements!!

Thanks for looking.

Very cool! And so cool to see something with your new camera! I guess it didn't sink in until you put the card on here that her birthday is the same day as yours! She is a good age! Close to your very old sister! Tell her happy birthday from me!
