Happy Birthday - male card



My Brother's birthday is next month so when I saw a couple challenges this morning - it help me to complete this card

I used the Diamond cut Cuttlebug folder and sanded the shiny black card stock to show the white core.
The Happy Birthday I stamped in black and then in brown StazOn ink. Use large eyelets from American Crafts to keep with the manly theme. Added a wide course ribbed ribbon and added inking here and there to try and make it look "messy" "manly (?)

Challenges:
Ribbon was requested at Doodle Palace
My Favorite technique - sanding and inking edges of card stock - at Frosted Designs
I used the layout from Die Cuts R Us Design TeamChallenge #28
All Sorts - we had to create a man card
There you go!

    Sheryl this is a cool card. That embossing folder is one of my favs for the boys too. Looks great the way you distressed it. Nice take on the sketch challenge. Always good to have you at DCRU.
