My DT card today is for
It is my #3 brother's 86th birthday, so I made this card for him. I die cut the man 3 times and layered him, then looked for some paper. I found this striped paper, and embossed it with a happy birthday embossing folding, then layered onto a striped grey paper, and added to the base layer. The words, I didn't think, stood out enough so I rubbed an ink pad over them.
The die cut man was added onto a line within the ef words. The tag was printed and cut with the Silhouette and layered 3 times, I then inked the edge. I added a safety pin, also cut out with my Silhouette. Then attached to the front of the card. I hope my brother likes it.

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful card for your brother Faith, and I love the black silhouette and the added tag style sentiment fixed with a safety pin...such a great idea, and the paper with the added embossed birthday sentiments over it makes a brilliant background. x
ReplyDeleteThe layered silhouette against the embossed stripes creates such a strong focal point, and the inked lettering adds just the right amount of contrast. The tag with the safety pin is a clever detail that gives the whole design a grounded, masculine feel. A wonderful way to celebrate your brother’s birthday.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog. I hope you will return again soon.
Brilliant brother card
ReplyDeleteHi Faith,
ReplyDeleteI just read your posts in the DS forum and saved your blog because we have a lot in common. I also make digital greeting cards, but it's often difficult, especially for men, so I need inspiration. I actually like to scrapbook with masculine themes like technology or crafts sometimes.
Greetings,
Doska St.
Now that is a cool masculine card! I love the background and the image!
