A Birthday Card for Dan


Good Afternoon, I have a card to share with you today made for my youngest son's birthday next week, he will be 34 and he is my youngest where did all those years go? Anyway back to my card, for my image I have used a copy of one of my husband's watercolour paintings, the bp is by Bo Bunny, I distressed the edges and added a little Walnut Stain distress ink. I finished with a Tim Holtz metal element, some card candy and a computer generated sentiment.

I would like to enter this card for the following challenges:

Fairy Fun Friday - Distress It
Poodles Parlour - Anything Goes
The Paper Shelter - One for the Boys
My Craft Spot - Manly Man Cards
Cute Card Thursday - Happy Birthday
Shelly's Images - Anything Goes

    OMG!!!!! What do you mean you have used one of your husband's water color paintings!?! Boy is he ever a major talent. Have I known this before? My memory is so bad but good gracious Pat - this is a wonderful card. My mouth is hanging wide open at both your husband's painting and this wonderful card. I love it. My youngest is 43 - I think!!!!
