Masculine Birthday!

Hello! Well, my husband's birthday was last week (actually it was on Valentines day) and I needed to make him a card. When you think masculine you may not normally think of ribbon. However I do have a few "go to" ribbons for manly cards. One being twill! Two of my favorites for Masculine cards are cream and black. As you can see here, I decided to go with the black twill tape! I love using twill...it ties wonderfully into a a bow or just a simple knot, which is what I have done here, since I was going for that masculine look! Twill does come in many different colors, and the Really Reasonable Ribbon store has lots to choose from!!

Now on to the rest of my card. When I saw this image and sentiment from DRS designs I knew I had to get it for my husband! Here I have inked the sentiment and image with craft black and heat embossed it with clear EP on glossy card stock covered with Tim Holtz Alcohol inks. The DP is from Basic Grey's Indian Summer package, and the base was embossed with the distressed lines cuttlebug embossing folder.

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Now onto my card details. The image I used is from DRS designs. I stamped it with Memento Black on Neenah Solar White paper from Paper Temptress...this stuff is just great to color with copics, and that is exactly what I did! Once the image was colored, I distressed it with some Scattered Straw and Walnut Stain Distress inks. The DP is from Basic Grey, and the base paper is Bronze Metallic paper, also from Paper Temptress.

To finish off the card, I added some zva creative pearl flourishes which were colored with a yellow copic, and some WONDERFUL Rudbeckia Hand-dyed silk ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon tied in a double bow with a bow easy!

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great day!
