Now a few details about my card:
I seem to always be in need for some masculine birthday cards so here I go using this week's Viva La Verve sketch challenge... :) I used stamps from the sets Party Time and Happy Days. I also used our Sweet Scallop Tag A-Cut-Above die and matching stamp. I used only one piece of patterned DP for this card...shocking right?! lol But it's a spunky busy one so I think it works. Oh and it's from the Fine and Dandy collection by my Mind's Eye.
thanks so much for stopping by!!
Have a great week!!!
