Birthday card for a man again!!!!



It's my son's birthday and we are going to see him this weekend, so had to make a card.  Decided to try something different and came across the inchie card on Joanne Wardles blog, this is a take on her card.  I made the background with Adirondack acrylic dabbers in blues, greens and reds, then stamped various designs from The Open Road plate by The Artistic Stamper.  Cut into equal 1.1/2" squares, mounted on black card.  Made another background with the same colour acrylic dabbers and mounted the squares on this.  My son is obsessed with cycling, so thought it would be appropriate.  Decided not to put any more embellishments on, enough already.  Card and dabbers available from Craft Den.

  1. A very nice card for a man,I am sure he will appreciate it and very appropriate. Did you buy the stamp with your son in mind, I wonder. Have a good weekend, not too much birthday cake or you will have to do extra at the gym.
