Jason's Birthday Card

Hello everyone.

Do you struggle with masculine cards?

I know I do and I have decided that I'm going to overcome

this problem.  I needed a birthday card for my daughter's boyfriend

and I wanted to do something a little different.

I put my mind to it and this is the card I created.

I started out with a die cut circle in a piece of card stock and 

a few coordinating colors of Distress Inks.

After some trial and error, I finally decided on these 3 large 

 intersecting circles.

I simply moved the circle "stencil" around and inked it with 

the Distress Ink and an ink blending tool.

Once they were the color I liked, I fussy cut them leaving a small outline around

them.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is 

from Biblical Impressions

and I stamped it with Timber Brown Staz On Ink

using my MISTI stamping tool, to be sure I got a clear, crisp impression.

The tag behind the circles is a manila tag covered with a piece of 

deli paper that I used alcohol inks to create. 

(See how here)

I used ATG tape to adhere the tag to a brown piece of card stock,

then trimmed the extra from the sides.

The circles were adhered on top of that piece and it was all 

adhered to a white card base.

The sentiment is from the 

Lovely Greetings Set 

from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

I stamped it with the same brown Staz On Ink as the sentiment on the front

of the card.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit to my blog today,

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!
