In honor of Father's Day, this month our theme is "masculine" and I had a ball making this birthday card using one of my absolute favorite stamp sets - "Chalkboard Birthday"! I started off with a brown card base and then layered a panel of woodgrain paper that I edged with some brown ink. I then layered a transparency of some old-fashioned planes over the card and finished with a little folder that I stamped with one of the sentiments from the set.
This shot shows the little folder open a bit with a gift card peeking out! Yes, I've had that forever and wonder how much money was left unused after Borders went out of business, lol! :)
So, on to the fun stuff - one lucky commenter will win a stamp set of their choice just for commenting! The winner will be chosen from the comments left on all blogs including the store blog, so leave a little love on each blog to have the most chances to win! The deadline for comments is 11:59 EST, Sunday June 9th and the winner will be announced Monday, June 10th.
Thanks so much for visiting today and now head over to Jessica's blog for more inspiration!
