I had a somewhat inky background lying around on my desk and thought it was perfect for a masculine birthday card using some cute critters by Penny Black stamped directly onto the background.
The animals (from the Penny Black set
Happy Critters) were stamped using Versafine Onyx ink and colored with my
Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. The
wall textures were done with a Brick Wall stamp
and if you look closely you might notice a bit of a clock on the top left
side. This was done with a TCW Clock Stencil.
The "Happy Birthday" sentiment came from the
same set. I think this simple font is perfect for masculine cards. The small
sentiment "time to celebrate" is part of an old Stampin Up stamp set.

Before adhering to patterned paper, I inked the edges using Blueprint Sketch ink. The patterned paper has been in my stash for a while like most of
my patterned papers and I don't know who the maker is. I added a couple of
staples to the larger sentiment before adhering to the card base.
Tools: TCW Clock Stencil //
Faber Castell Polychromos //
Stapler // Blending Tool
Papers: Bristol Vellum // Patterned
Paper from Stash // 110 lb Cardstock for Base

ReplyDeleteEternity by using Calvin Klein Perfume. Parfum de Marly, a brand with a self-proclaimed (royal essence) made its debut in fragrances in 2009 and has been making Parfum fit for kings and queens ever since. This floral, fruity creation may be a pretty tribute to the primary heat days of spring.
