Title: Happy Birthday Amelia
Medium: Mixed media
Size: around A5 (folded)
Date: October 2010
Used black paper. I cut out the letters from old magazines (like Teens, Teenage and Seventeen) so that the fonts and their sizes will vary. Actually the newspapers have pretty good fonts too but newspaper ink stains your fingers and the texture of the two are different so obviously I’ll go for the cleaner choice.
I lined the word with gold pen and I used it to draw the flower and swirls as well (basically every other detail on the card). Actually white will make a good choice too but the letters I cut had white on them so I chose another color. Plus my white pen ran out of ink. 
I didn’t take very long to make this card. It’s easy to make, unless you count the effort and time put in on looking for nice fonts from magazines. I actually have a box where I keep all my cuttings from magazines. Pretty useful when you need to rush out a handmade card for someone.
