Tomorrow will be June already, and I have birthdays and graduations to contend with. So, without further ado, I submit my first birthday card, following instructions over at Inkspirational Challenge #368 - Word Prompt - "For the Guys." This is for my son who is becoming decidedly middle aged. He'll be 52 on Thursday!
These quirky characters are from Whimsy Stamps "So Weird" CWSD473. I stamped the bull in brown on a scrap of white cardstock, then stamped just his face in black on tan paper and fussy-cut it and glued over the brown image. The bird was over-stamped in black and colored with yellow marker. The hog was stamped on tan with black ink, fussy-cut, nose colored, and attached over the bull with an additional thickness of card stock for a bit of dimension. I added the sentiments from Avery Elle's "Peek-a-Boo Pets", die cut the images with a deckle edge die, and attached it with a brown mat to a top-folded black card base.
For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the "So Weird" stamp set onto a deckle-edged panel. The final step was a custom coordinating tan envelope lined with black and white polka dots.
