We have four masculine birthdays in my family in August so I my Craft Room has been a whirlwind of activity. This card is for my husband's birthday. This is also my card for a much older SCS Challenge - Free for All Friday F4A155 - Blues & Browns. Thankfully, there are no time limits to play SCS Challenges. I was inspired by another cardmaker who uploaded her card to the Challenge very recently and it reminded me of how much I ADORE blues and browns together. Please see this link for the details on the Challenge ----> F4A155 - Blues & Browns - 02/08/13 by Wendybell at Splitcoaststampers
The main image was trimmed from one of the Mintay 12" x 12" papers which has 12 images on it so it makes life easy when you don't need to stamp and colour an image. I chose this particular image as my husband plays electric guitar in two bands so having the guitar and amplifier was just a match made in heaven. I fussy cut the stars from the Mintay Garage 6" x 8" Add-on Paper Pack and popped them up on dimensionals. I did add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter brush to the stars but you can't tell in the photo.
The tartan designer paper is from the Mintay Garage 12" x 12" Paper Pack and the distressed brown designer paper is from the Mintay Garage 6" x 8" Add-on Paper Pack All the layers were trimmed to 1/8" using my Perfect Layers Tools. The cardstock is by Kaisercraft.
The sentiment is by Uniquely Creative from their Essential Birthday Sentiments Mini Cut-a-part Sheet and was popped up on dimensionals.
The beige cardstock border on the bottom was punched using my Fiskars Threading Water border punch which I use alot for masculine cards. I added a score line next to it using my Martha Stewart Score Board. The ribbon is from my stash and was added in 2 separate elements which I find easier and neater.
I added some Candi Dots on the top RHS with dimensionals. I have had these Candi Dots in my stash for years. They are like faux brads and so easy to pop onto your card.
Once I had finished the card front, I glued it to an Anko Kraft card base using my Tombow Mono Multi glue.
Finished size is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" or 140mm x 140mm.
