Happy Birthday Rae Card


My son asked me to make a card for his GF Rae.
He described what he wanted and this is the final card.

To make this card I used:
Light Grey Card stock
Dark Grey Card stock

Hot Off The Press Steampunk 12x12 Paper Pack

Gears and Cogs
Tim Holtz Key - Heart
Tim Holtz Clock Stamp
Perfect Pearls Mists in Blue Patina and Cappuccino
Stampin' Up - gears and cogs punch
Brown Ink


My son wanted a simple and uncluttered card. 
I cut the light grey card stock and made a gate card.
Then I layered Blue Patina and Cappuccino over the entire card.
I inked the edges in Brown ink.
I then cut dark grey mats and then cut the paper to fit. 



The inside of the card was made exactly as the outside.
I added a Tim Holtz key, that says Heart.
For Key to His Heart.



The back of the card. 
I love to finish the back of the card with the same detail as the front and the inside.
I stamped Tim Holtz Clock and my Initial on the back.



Back of the card view.



I made the envelope to match the card with the same paper.

Envelope and card open view.



Envelope with back of card view.



Back of Card with envelope.


To finish the card my son wrote his note inside and I addressed it.
I made a seal with the Stampin' Up punch and I added a few paper gears and cogs on the envelope.
It came out nicer than I hoped.
My son and his GF were both very happy with it.

I love steampunk and this was my first attempt at a birthday card with it.
This will  definitely be a standard for me. 
I will be using this paper and theme for my year in my life mini book.
