Happy Birthday


Sometimes I have an idea in mind for a card and mostly it works but I am not very happy with the way this one turned out. Still hubby said he liked it and maybe someone will want to buy it. Sometimes the cards I like least surprise me by selling quickly.

I used some old First Edition man made papers to create a starbust effect.  I diecut the Woodware sentiment with a MFT wonky stitched rectangle, added a frame and some punched stars. A great way to use scraps.

This is so cool how you did this card! I must say this must have been a bit of work working out the dimensions for this to work! Great card Marianne! I see why hubby likes it...very unique!

This is a brilliant card, so modern and just perfect for masculine recipients!
