A masculine card today for a friend who celebrated his 80th Birthday recently. I love this image and sentiment and I used it on another card last month HERE.
The card fold was made with Made To Surprise 'Side Panel Showstopper' dies. The digi stamp and sentiment are from Beccy's Place 'You're A Hoot' set. I coloured the image with Promarkers. There is a pre-coloured version, but I didn't have any patterned paper to match the shade of brown. The patterned paper is from Anna Marie Designs. I finished of my card with numbers, using dies from The Works.
The card folds flat for posting.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Brilliantly fun and detailed card for an 80th birthday Liz, love the fancy fold with a great image and sentiment xx
ReplyDeleteLiz: Thanks for returning to HQCOLCB! This special fold style structure was used very effectively! The patterned papers are great companions for the owl image and #80! Beautifully made! Thanks for entering a birthday theme entry for Heart's Quest Celebrations of Love! --Becca
ReplyDeleteAwesome card Liz, I love the fold! You did a great job combining the patterned papers and the cardstock, they work really well with the image. I'm sure your friend will get a chuckle when he receives it.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Beccy
A wonderful layout and papers to showcase your wise owl and sentiment
