Birthday

Today we're celebrating my brother's birthday. So I made him this card. I based the design on this card. I changed the color scheme so it was a bit more masculine. And I also used some background paper that pays a small tribute to my brother's profession - Texas DPS - where a star similar to the one in the paper is on their badges & other professional emblems.

Background: Luxe-Simple Grid Turquoise
Paper: SU-Western Sky, Wintergreen
Cardstock: white
Stamps: Verve-Floral Whimsy
Ink: VF-onyx; SU-certainly celery, old olive,tempting turquoise
Misc: paper piercer, white satin ribbon, pop dots, tacky tape, Zots, watercolor pencils, blender pen, brads, flower, K&Co-Addison chipboard letters, Stickles-waterfall, CM-circle & wavy cutters

Birthday

This card is going to one of my now-retired/former bosses. Even after almost five years, he always remembers my birthday, so I try to do the same in return. The inspiration from this card is here.

Stamps: Verve-Petals & Stems; SU-Something to Celebrate
Ink: SU-rose red, pumpkin pie, certainly celery
