Hubby’s Birthday today!
Yep is it my hubby’s birthday….or do you write Hubbie???? hmm that secretarial mind of mind is not working because I didn’t get a whole load of sleep last night…….
Anyway it is the man that I am married to, his birthday today. Luckily my new box of Mini catty goodies arrived yesterday……..because I was desperate to get my hands on a particular stamp set to make his card!!!
Here is a sneek peek of the box on new mini gear…….Oh you are going to love this mini catty for sure!
Not that you can really see…..which is the whole point, BUT there is new ribbons, glitter, papers, flowers, punches, and stamp sets to die for!!! I hope I have a quieter week next week so that I can play till my hearts content!
Anyway back to hubby……..He has had a good day, out for coffee with the work collegues, and I had a glass of red and a board full of yummy’s here ready for when he got home tonight. I also made his Fave dinner…….Beef Stroganoff! He loved it.
So here is the card I made for his birthday…….I had a ball colouring the image….which I think too about 1 hour!
This stamp is from a stamp set called “For Father” which is in the new upcoming mini catty. It is one of those stamp sets that don’t always inspire you till you have seen what it can look like.
I have used Ruby red for the base which I stamped with Stampin’Up’s Linen background stamp. I added a wide strip of Bayou cardstock followed by a narrow strip of Chocolate chip, and ruby red spotted DS paper.
I have paper pierced two rows along the bottom, and added the greeting which is from the One of a Kind stamp set (from current mini catty) with Whisper white ink.
For the image, I have stamped it with Stazon black ink pad, onto watercolour paper. I then watercoloured the image with my aquapainter and stamp pads, slowly slowly building the colour. I mounted the image onto chocolate chip cardstock
Lastly I added the antique brass brads in the top right hand corner for embellishment.
Hmmm I thought I would share a little photo of my man, but it is from a little while ago….haven’t taken one of him for a few months now……But here he is
Well better go and give the man some attention especially since it is his birthday!
Talk soon!
