Happy 40th to DH!

Today is my husband's 40th birthday! Happy birthday, babe! I love ya!!



Here's the card I made for him using my Stampscapes stamps (such calming stamps, aren't they?) and my favorite DP, Parisian Breeze. The white matted panel is up on Dimensionals and then the embossed main image is up on a second layer. The layout is Amy Rysavy's AMYRS60 sketch..I just moved the ribbon up above the main panel. I made the sentiment on the computer (Lucida Calligraphy font).

Here's what the inside looks like. It's the same layout, just without the Chocolate matting behind each panel.



SUPPLY LIST ~
Stamps: Stampscapes Lakeside Cabin, Stampscapes Reeds Lg.
Paper: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Kraft, Parisian Breeze DP
Ink: Colorbox Cocoa, Versamark (lg reed on inside)
Accessories: SU Hodgepodge Hardware (brads and buckle), Dimensionals, Rectangle Nestabilities, SU 3/16" Corner Rounder, Clear Deep Impression Embossing Powder, Grosgrain Ribbon from Pink Hedgehog Paper Crafts
Technique: Heat Embossing

Enjoy your weekend! It's supposed to get up near 70 degrees this weekend here in PA...let's hope they're right!

    Wow! What an awesome card! I honestly just love what you do to the inside of a card. Its like making two cards in one!

    Happy Birthday to your hubby!

    BTW: Your little sideline artwork on your blog is about the cutest thing on the face of this earth! I'm gonna ask my Master Gardner (know it all) neighbor if she has any flowers with peanuts growing out of them in her prize winning (incredible!) front or back yard!

    Ha! Betcha she doesnt!!!!
