Birthday Boy!

I bought Stampin' Up!'s 'Music From The Heart' stamps with my musical son in mind, and the time has come to use them. He loves rich, earthy colours, so I chose those and went for it, using Global Design Project's #GDP227 sketch for inspiration. I always find masculine cards tricky - so much easier to think about pretty, feminine ones - so I was pleased to see this one through. The background is sponged in Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Mossy Meadow, and I mounted the little sentiment on more card to give it a little lift, without separating it out too much. The side panel paper is the 'B' side of the gorgeous, photographic 'Pressed Petals'.

Ingredients: Stampin' Up! paper/card, (Very Vanilla, Pressed Petals DSP), ink, (Mossy Meadow, Night Of Navy, Merry Merlot, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede), stamps, (Music from the Heart, Label Me Bold), gold embossing powder.

Other: Versamark ink and stars and rhinestones of unknown provenance. 

Cheers!

I've just acquired (from the retiring catalogue) Stampin' Up!'s Bubble Over stamps and Bottles and Bubbles framelits. I got them because I thought they'd be useful - I hadn't realised they'd be fun!
I've used them here in response Cas(e) this Sketch's challenge #323 and Sunday Stamper's SSC205: Masculine Musings. I think making a beer card is a pretty safe bet - there'll be a bloke who needs it, somewhere!

Ingredients:
Stampin' Up! card (Sahara Sand, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White), ink (Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Sahara Sand, and Memento Black), Bubble Over stamps and Bottles and Bubbles framelits, . Itty Bitty Birthdays stamps (sentiment)
