Happiest Birthday Wishes-A Manly Card

Good Afternoon,  I hope you are doing well today.  It's Saturday so we have already went to our grandson, Skyler's soccer game.  His team won!  He is the goalie (guards the the goal) so we were especially proud when he prevented the other team from making points. First game of the new season, first win!  Yea! Yea!

Now, its time to share another card that I made a few days ago. I can't take credit for this idea, I found it on someone else's website and forgot her name but I will give her credit as soon as I find it.  My last Stamp-A-Stack class featured this card on Saturday. More about that later...

Card Stock:  Always Artichoke, Early Espresso and Naturals White

Ink Pads:   Always Artichoke and Early Espresso

Stamp Sets:  Lovely As a Tree, Happiest Birthday Wishes

Technique:  Water coloring with Aqua Painter (#103954), 2 in a package

or you may use the Blender Pens (#102845) as some of my friends that attended the Stamp-A-Stack class. I used the aqua painter because I preferred the colors to be a little lighter.

Accessories: Decorative Label Punch (#120907) & Stripes (#123128) Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. 

The Stripes Textured Impressions Folder is free when you purchase $50 in Stampin' UP product through March 31, 2012. Don't miss out, place your order at my Stampin' UP website.http://www.gaylesstampinnook.stampinup.net

I hold the Stamp-A-Stack classes once a month here at my home.  You get to make 4 of 2 different designs that I supply you all the pre-cut materials for except adhesive.  The cost is only $16.  Includes envelopes, too!  Where else can you get a nice handmade card for $2?   


Leave me a comment telling what you think about my card and I will see you again soon!


Here's a scripture for today:  Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it."  Isaiah 30:21


Have a great day!
