My BIL's bday is at the end of the month, and he (along with the rest of my family) is a big Iowa Hawkeye fan. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make him a bday card.
This card measures 9"x4" and will fit in a business size envie. The base is Basic Black , layered with back and gold striped paper ( I purchased from Reminisce in Coralville). I punched multiple stars using the large and small star punch from SU out of black , summer sun, and some various Hawkeye paper I had.
The yellow polka-dotted ribbon is by BoBunny, accented with some black gingham. The sentiment is matted on Summer Sun and black, and I also used the tag corner punch and some black brads.
Thanks so much for looking!

Bright and fabulous!! I love your line of bold stars - hah! I'm glad I read your writeup.. when you said Hawkeye fans I thought of Hawkeye from the old show Mash.. I guess you now know I am not a sports fan and also... I am probably a lot older than you!! Lovely card!
