A birthday card for my Dad, whose Birthday it is today, he was unlucky this year, he had to share his Birthday with Mother's Day lol :D For this card, I started with ink blending my background, and I was quite heavy handed with the application to get a nice saturated colour :D I used Spiced Marmalade, Carved Pumpkin and Candied Apple Distress inks :D I then cut the Spellbinders Symmetry in Space die from some white card, and layered this on top :D My Dad is basically an odd job man for everyone who lives down our road lol, so I just had to make his Birthday card tool related (although I'm pretty sure his tools have never looked this neat lol) For all the Tool images, I used the Handmade with Love A4 stamp set free with issue 40 of Creative Stamping, and I used my usual favourite combination of the Lawn Fawn Jet black ink along with ProMarkes to colour them in :D and then finally to create my peg board, I used two stitched rectangle dies to create the frame, and then I used some of the Apple Blossom Embroidery/Stitching card (from CraftStash, link below) to give the peg board look :D Hope you liked the card! Dad loved it, although he did point out that I hung the saw up the wrong way lol, trust him to spot that!! :D
