Steve's birthday card.


I made this card for my brother in law, Steve. It was his birthday last week and I'm still not sure if he's received the card yet! Never mind, I can't wait otherwise I might just forget to put it on!!
This started with some Flourish paper rolled through the CB folder- retro. I then textured a piece of oatmeal card with corrugated cardboard CB folder and inked it with vintage photo distress ink. The little piece behind the Happy Birthday is actually from the School range -it's a mustard colour that has been distressed. I used the new Paper distresser for around some edges - love that tool!! I enjoyed decorating the inside of the card too- I used the sand SB paper from the Castaway range and stamped it with the distress ink, the wire stamp and clock stamp. For some reason , I always picture male cards as rustic!
