Masculine Birthday Card

6/21/2022

0 Comments

 
I enjoy creating a special and unique birthday card for my brother every year and, since he is an avid golfer, I grabbed a Riley golf stamp from my extensive stash of Riley images.  It's been awhile since I've made a cute card and I was looking forward to creating a perfect card for my brother.

I began by using a 6x6 paper pad (Honey Bee Great Outdoors) for my masculine patterns.  The background of the card was created by layering lots of mismatched patterns.  I had stamped Riley several times (Versafine Onyx Black ink) on white cardstock (Hammermill Cover, Copy, Color) just to have him available for other card making sessions.  I knew I would use color pencils (Prisma) and Mineral Spirits (Gamsol) to color him.  Here's a link to working with this super cool and easy coloring technique.

​It was fun seeing this card evolve!  I hadn't planned on an inter-active fold, but because of the sentiment I wanted to use, it worked great.  I found an old alphabet stamp (Just For Fun) in my stash that worked well for the word "open."  The "I Golf" sentiment (Frantic Stamper) was stamped with Catherine Pooler ink.

There is another inside of the card that was stamped with Happy Birthday.  So fun, right?

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
