masculine birthday card

Happy Birthday
Hi…me again 🙂 bringing you a masculine card. I had lots of fun adding to this stamp from Penny Black…it’s a background stamp but, I wanted to make it my main image.  If you click on it you will see it larger and can see what I am talking about 🙂 I used a Simon Says die cut in the background, a Penny Black’s brick wall and a trusty SRM sticker.

I used the same yummy summer distress colors on this background as I did in my last post. Can you tell I stamped my main image, traced it on kraft paper and cut it out to mount the mail image. This gave my image lots of heft and interest. 
Off to pack for some college visits. Have a happy weekend! Hugs, Kathy
P.S. After coloring the image I added big blobs of glossy accents in the circles

    This looks amazing with the additional layering onto Kraft combined with your whitework. The bluey-green of the background makes me think of moss covered wall & the detail of your colouring on the image makes this really exceptional – especially brilliant for males!
    Hope all goes well with your travels.
