Sending Birthday Wishes - A Male Birthday Card

 Hello my friends,

today I want to share my second project for the August challenge "Happy Birthday" at Country View Challenges. This time I made a card for a man.

I started by making the background with my new DI uncharted mariner (I love this colour!) and brushed corduroy and a tiny hint of picked raspberry, Then I stamped withthe same colours some texture and distressed the edges.

The focal point is a stamp from LaBlanche. I stamped it with Archival Ink coffee, coloured the face and the hands with DI antique line, cut it out and coloured the edges with brushed corduroy.

I digged in my stash for some ephemera (these are very old Tim Holtz ones), glued a cluster down, added some thread and glued the stamped image with some foam tape.

To embellish the composition, I took some of my premade paper rolls and a cardboard sticker.

Last I stamped the sentiment (Crafters Companion shabby chic) and glued it onto the card.

Here are some close ups:

I hope, you will find time to make something pretty for our challenge, you can win a 20 £ voucher for the shop!
