Manly Birthday Wishes

 Back Again!  (not sure why but my center alignment button is no longer working...weird!)

This has got to be the manliest manly man card I have ever made!

I am entering it in the following Challenges:

Simon Says Monday, Layer It.

Simon Says Wednesday, Happy Birthday.

I started with a Steam Punk Embossing Folder by Darice for my background.

Then I added paints and inks in golds and browns and 

black embossing powder to give it a metallic and aged look.

I found some Metal Sheets in my stash and added 

the same texture to it with the Embossing Folder.  

Adding the paints, inks and embossing powder to that, 

trimming it into 3 smaller panels.

In between I embossed a piece of Vellum for more layering.

The 3 panels were popped up on Foam Tape.

I added Tim Holtz metal gears and brads as accents, 

also inked and heat embossed with some powders.

Avery Elle Numbered Birthday Balloon dies, 

treated in the same manner as the metal accents.

Heavy Metal!

Gina K Designs Massive Messages stamp set.

Gold Embossing Powder.

Vellum.

Has some dimension and heft to it!

This, was of course, made for my Hubby Tom who celebrated his birthday on the 3rd!

He is the manliest manly man I know and love!  

Plus he just took me for our Vaccines this morning!

Thanks for stopping in!
