Birthday Blues

Masculine cards seem to be made less than any other card - well, by me anyway.

This one is created using a retired Stampin' Up! set - this appeals greatly to me as my younger brother lives on one.

I have coloured the image in lightly using Distressing Inks and cut it out with Spellbinders Labels Twenty Two Die, using my Grand Calibur.

and added a sentiment from the Layers of Color Sentimental Banners clear art stamp set illustrated by Nina Brackett and cut out using the Spellbinders Ribbon Banners Die

Finishing off with some Bakers Twine.
