Happy Birthday a Male Version

To start the new year off at Retro Rubber Blog Challenge we have a sketch to help design your card.   

My card is already in it’s recipient’s hands, as my brother’s birthday is in late December and this was a perfect sketch to use some of my older stamps from Heartfelt Creation’s All Geared Up collection.  These have been in my collection since Oct of 2014, and unfortunately they are no longer available.  I am glad I purchased them when I could as they are perfect for masculine cards!

1.     The card base is a 6 Bar Recollections Kraft card and envelope set. 

2.     The edge of the card is sponged with Memento Luxe Teal Zeal and a sponge dauber.

3.     Die Cuts With a View solid cork is trimmed to 4 ¾” x 5 ¼”.  Two strips of the All Geared Up collection are trimmed to 1 ½” x 6 ½” and ¾” x 6 ½”.  The narrow strip is torn using a deckle edge ruler by Plaid. 

4.     The sentiment and image are stamped on the cork with Memento Luxe Teal Zeal.

5.     The nail-head brads are colored by rolling them on the StazOn Timber Brown ink pad using a pair of tweezers. 

6.     The card is assembled as shown and adhered together.
