Masculine Birthday

 


 Hello Friends!  
Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

There are three primary challenges that inspired today's card creation . . .

 Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #673 - sketch (ends today) ... well DANG!  I missed the deadline!  Still LOVED the sketch though!

 

 Penny Black Saturday Challenge - ATG twist: Four Legged Friends (ends 4/3)

 Memory Box Challenge #126 - Birthday Cards (3/30) 

 

 

I truly enjoy selecting a few challenges to combine and create a card.  With these three fabulous challenges, I have my sketch (good starting point), my theme (always need that) and my sentiment (finishing touch).  

Products used are as follows:

Background papers - P13 'Awakening' and Dress My Craft 'Hydrangea Lawns'

Image - Penny Black 'Icy Winds' premium cardstock image (my 4-legged friend)
Dies - Memory Box 'Fanciful Fences #30035' - Memory Box 'Frosty Border #98171

Sentiment -  Altenew 'Birthday Greetings' that was die cut using Sue Wilson Flag dies

 


 The fencing was die cut from a scrap of white card stock then inked using Tim Holts Distress 'Walnut Stain' ink / large sponge dauber.  Nuvo Crystal Drops were used for the added dimension embellishment.

Other challenges to share in:

Cardz 4 Guyz #384 - Color Chlg. - Light Blue & Brown (ends 4/21)
Fab'n'Funky Challenge #633 - Four Legged Friends (ends 3/31) 
Addicted to Stamps & More #513 - Birthdays (ends 3/31) 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!  Wishing you  a FABULOUS week ahead! 

As always . . .

  3. This struck a chord with me straight away as I love a four-legged nature theme. I have the Frosty Border die but have never thought to use it quite like this. I love it!
