Birthday in Greece - One Stop Craft Challenge
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCoD0fDkWVAL76D9_oteCRHKOOe1lST2TIXgeJdZ4pNOa7VXdD1ie_jdSuXLxl6HNNGjcVI2UZ_RElS5aSVfiatMSbEZUf-lBTPUsLeZENROg7R5YqAM0p4m6o1dVvfsiw15TotDUCkvU/s200/Bday_Card_Greek-temple_kl.jpg)
You can't see it very well on the photo - the buttons are decorated with a flower made from rice grains, painted with gold acrylic paint. The backing paper on the left hand side is a photo showing coins at the bottom of the Fontana di Trevi in Rome - I liked the way the water distorted their shapes.

Birthday card with foam embellishment
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNxpOELmkO4w83ca0QTTltu5Y5OL1ZqReN0_dz6ffsVMzKc3OqZIPpiGY64Es3y7l3GvXyK-zhsImQpP0NhSpnOwr6FndAQBINeLt9_ZEIgb9wsrMJSbs2BBHmQ25M6Kbx1er5ryjgldg/s320/CPS-card_kl.jpg)
I made the main embellishment from a circular piece of foam. Another opportunity to use my new buttons! The blue satin round ribbon matches the colour of the middle one.
I punched the lacy border into a matted silver paper which resembles brushed aluminium.
The greeting is printed on the computer.
One day I thought it would be a good idea to just try out various fonts to create a collection of birthday sentiments. This gave me a nice stack in different colours to choose from.

Ice queen style
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlU2zD267QZSrqmNQzJXCfembHc2-Tkwf1kbe4_Ndz2aE62-dM3nXh-GfeBhYRNScRD57uOt78Mgt9uz0ToHt4vBYeZ9e2gxWfu90J9HGfW93rU3emOvrrCVZtsI7ecUvuiTwaQ8sO4FE/s320/Xmas_Ice-queen_card_kl.jpg)
The image on my "season greetings" card reminds me of the ice queen in the Narnia story. I know she is a scary baddie but nevertheless I can identify a bit with the way she dresses in those blue, icey green and blueish grey colours, which is what I often choose for my clothes. And she wears the sort of dress that I think would look good on me, too. I hope the similarity ends here!

One stop challenge
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjB8mC-FsFYgJgDYUI0urOGwn_cv3kXxzGS_80CwoyJDnpuBoQidt6Z0DXWMv_ALwKqOEBv5SufqJ-HMugVkz9WXhDL0rmJ6AhcMTr7S_fcNeHa0ywDKLOtKwo79bp165GYLZZDHsog60/s400/Any_black-and-white_no_bow_card_kl.jpg)
This week's One Stop Challenge is all about groups of three. I don't normally use this number much in my crafting - maybe I should start to? - Anyway, here is a rare example of an altered notebook where I actually did use it. There is a little odd story behind it: I set out to make a bereavement card. Then I was told that this did not look like it was ever going to become one - so I changed direction (for the better I think - I never enjoyed making a bereavement card for some reason...)
New year, new candy...
Happy New Year everybody!
Let's hope it will be a lucky one. I am going to test that right away, and so can you... because I have collected some new blog candy links for you:
