Fall To Layout #38 Happy Birthday

I decided to use Natahsa's sketch to make a masculine birthday card. I used PaperTrey's Father Knows Best set and the sentiment is from PaperTrey's Around and About Sentiments. To keep it masculine looking, I embossed about 2/3rds of the Vintage Creme card front with the Argyle embossing folder . I then scored two lines right below the Argyle embossing and then stamped the sentiment and embossed another two lines below the sentiment. I would have liked to use a brown wooden button but I didn't have one so I went with the spiral clip instead. Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey; Ink - Versamagic Chalk Inks; Paper - PaperTrey; Misc - Nestabilities, spiral clip, dimensionals, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Scor-pal.

Sketch 38

Happy weekend! Here's the sketch:

And here's my card. I kept things very simple this week. Lots of white space. Keep your image panel relatively small, I think mine is 1.5x2.5. The sentiment strip is about 5 inches long. A small tip, if you find that so much white space is just too plain, try using a textured cardstock, it can really jazz up the card.Supplies:

Stamps: Quick Sayings, Botanical Blooms

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Spring Moss, Melon Berry, Fresh Snow

Paper: Groovy Guava textured, confetti white, spring moss

Accessories, etc.: button, pop dots
