Matthew's Birthday

Come the end of the month one of my Nephew's, Matthew, will turn 18.  Wow!  Where does the time go?  I made a simple masculine card using the guidelines for the Flourishes #FLLCAUGH13 August Release Challenge.


I took the 3 colors for the Challenge, teal, grey, and rust, matted them down on a light piece of card stock and then using the Happy Birthday Cuttle Bug embossing folder, ran it through the machine.  Wrapped with brown Baker's Twine, added a button and then adhered that all onto brown card stock cut out with Spellbinder's Lacy Square die.   A small piece of plain tan Washi Tape added as a border.  The sentiment is from the  Flourishes, Dahlias stamp set, popped up on Spellbinders, Classic Circles and Heart Circles dies.  Ink is Stazon, Teal Blue and card base is Kraft.

A simple card.  A masculine card.  Plus, in this case, it's what's on the inside that counts, wink, wink!
