Wetlands Meets A Work f Art Unisex Birthday Card Stampin' Up! UK

It was My Dad's 76th Birthday at the weekend, and as he only recently had a card for Fathers Day, that was very grungy, I decided to go with something very different. with this lighter & Brighter Card that could be used for a Man or Woman.

The anchor stamp & Grass Stamp helps to tie the card's unisex possibilities.

I went with the Subtles Collection for the background, using a combination of Pool Party, Soft Sky & Pear Pizzaz. Ink Pads, and Soft Suede for that wonderful warm brown.

The whole card was tided together by using some Linen Threat and some Subtles Enamel Shapes.

I used three stamp sets to create this card and two die cuts

Masculine Feather Together Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Products

Well I am typing in a bleary eyed state of exhaustion today, as we did not get to bed until 03:00 hrs!

So please forgive me for any typo's.

We did the airport run late last night/early this-morning as our eldest son and his partner, have flown out to Greece for their annual holiday.

But we were still up at a reasonable time, as our daughter is moving into her first home with her partner, and Alex turns 30 today!!

And below is the Birthday Card I made for him.

I know, it is another masculine card, but what can I do? I belong to a large familiy that is heavy on the male side of things. Us poor few women don't stand a chance he he

This is the first time I have played with the

FEATHER TOGETHER STAMP SET

This is another new Stamp Set from Stampin Up, & another stamp set I am in love with!

Alex ix another family member who is big into Motorbikes, but having made three already this last week, I felt it was time for a change

The Birthday sentiment, is one of the stamps in the set, and I decided to go with a mostly neutral colour scheme, with an injection of colour and texture by adding in this lovely blue from the Moroccan Designer Series Paper. The Art Piece has been mat onto Dapper Denim Cardstock, to co- ordinate with the designer series paper. And finally, I added texture with some loops of Linen Thread
