Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Sunday! It's my darling husband's birthday today and I'm sharing the card I've made for him. Yesterday, I had a difficult time creating this card as he kept coming into my craft room and I had to hide the card in progress. I finally requested he stay out for at least 30 minutes....poor guy!
I was completely inspired by a card created by Natasha Foote on You Tube. I have loads of scrap patterned paper and thought snippets from the Bo Bunny "Garden Party" 6x6 paper pad would make a nice masculine card.
I've cut 1.5" squares and adhered Baker's Twine on each to represent gifts, tied bows and adhered with mini glue dots, then popped each parcel on craft foam for dimension. The embossed panel is a leaf print and the sentiment came from my sentiment box (I keep a box of sentiment strips already done up). The sentiment has been popped on craft foam and 2 black gems added to represent rivets or nails or something masculine.
Have a fabulous Sunday and week ahead. It's time for a quiet birthday celebration at home with the family, complete with a Steak and Potato Dinner, Cake and Ice Cream afterwards!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
