Simon's Birthday

Tomorrow is our son Simon's birthday  so I needed inspiration to come up with something

suitable and it's not easy doing cards for fellas - as you all know well.

I decided to keep it simple with crisp clean lines, and decided that I would use

the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing folder to do stripes.

Horizontally for the top section and vertically on the bottom section.

Kept to a colour combo of Night of Navy and Whisper White.

Punched two borders to go either side of the ribbon using the

Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.  Stamped the sentiment

 from Happiest Birthday  Wishes (Hostess set) and die cut "Son"

using the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Medium Sizzlits Dies.

White on White

I have seen several cards made using white on white, so I thought that I would give it a go. I have used White embossing powder on a Versamarked image from the Charming stamp-set. This I have layered on White, on top of a white frame cut out after using the Textured Impressions Designer frames Embossing folder. I threaded the White ribbon over the frame sides and under the Charming image and stuck this on top of the joining line where the two different textured halves of the card meet. These were embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper and the Stripes embossing folders. Then the compulsory bling added - Basic pearls today!
You may have to zoom in to the picture to see the detail of the embossed flower.
I am quite happy with this card - so - who shall I send this one to?
If you would like to receive this card, simply leave me a comment and I will do a draw for the winner (names in hat!) and will post this out to you.
