Island Birthday

Hi there!  A great sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/   was my inspiration for the birthday card that I'm sharing with you today.

Isn't that a fun sketch?  I had a great time making this card, but I will say getting all the paper pieces to align perfectly was a challenge LOL!  I found some designer paper from a retired paper stack that I thought was perfect for a masculine birthday card.

The truck from Countryside was stamped in Stazon on watercolor paper and colored using an Aquapainter.  Everything was adhered to a piece of Early Espresso card stock, which was then popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals atop an Island Indigo card.

Brads from Antique Trinkets decorate the sentiment banner, and hemp twine was wrapped around under the truck.  Pretty simple embellishments worked well with the active design and the watercolored image.

Thanks for dropping by today!  I hope the remainder of your weekend is enjoyable.  My husband and I are going on a hunt for a big tomato plant and maybe more flowers for the garden.  It's going to be lovely weather this weekend so it's a perfect time to work in the yard.  Take care!

Hugs,

Stef
