happy birthday

 hi and welcome to my share for today.

i have created another male birthday card using Sunday Stroll from Lili of the Valley

he's such a handsome chappie and the dog is rather cute. 

this vintage boy has been painted with distress inks and i have chosen to use a simple card layout, a little mat and layer using some first edition papers i've had in my stash for quite a while.

i usually colour about 5 or 6 male/masculine images up in one go and make a batch of cards for the boys but on this occasion i only managed to colour 3, there are 2 more waiting on my desk that need to be inked. hopefully whilst i'm on leave from work i can get them finished..

onto what i have used:

inks:

fade resistant dye ink: memento - expresso truffle

Tim Holtz:  distress ink

vintage photo, tattered rose, walnut stain, antique linen, pumice stone, faded jeans, old paper, shabby shutters, weathered wood.

papers:

watercolour paper: langton hp - smooth

designer paper: first edition, wild at heart

linen card: cream

7" x 7" base card

stamps:

LOTV: sunday stroll 

sentiment: my favourite things

dies: tonic circles

miscellaneous:

double sided tape

where you can buy:

stamps: LOTV - image

other stamps: dies to die for - mft - sentiment

all it leaves me now to say is:

thanks for stopping by enjoy your day and

craft happy, Ann
