Stampin'B Challenge - Birthday

Both of my sons celebrate birthdays in August, so I was happy to make a card for Vicki’s Stampin'B's DT Blog challenge this week -- a birthday card.




Masculine cards are never easy, but I managed to put this together using images from Mark’s Finest Papers' new set Southwest Cowboy. The DP is from a cool Basic Grey pad called Basic Krafts. I used a plastic canvas circle as a guide for my piercing. Thanks, Vicki, I’m half done with my birthday cards for August.

What a very handsome birthday card. I have a son with an August birthday, too so I need to get a card made. Why didn't I do his with this challenge? Duh! LOL

Lois, I just noticed about your clown and salt and pepper shaker collection. That is very interesting. You should post pictures on your blog. I bet a lot of people would love to see them.
