STAMPIN' UP! FAMILY PARTY MASCULINE BIRTHDAY CARD

Today is my eldest son's birthday (and I am having difficulty comprehending that my first brown-eyed baby is 24, already).  We had a family dinner, to celebrate, last night.  Jack gets to do something special for his birthday tonight - he is going, with his fiancee Tanikka, to have a tasting of meals on offer at their wedding reception venue.  They'll get to decide the menu for their wedding, which is less than four months away.  Exciting times!

Here is the card I made for Jack:

I cut four varying widths of paper from the Come To Gather Designer Series Paper pack.  After adhering them on an angle to a piece of Whisper White card, I used a Stitched Rectangle die to cut the panel.  This piece was then attached to a piece of Pretty Peacock card.  I wrapped some Braided Linen trim around the top, then added feather embellishments.  The wooden feathers, from Tags & Feathers elements, were coloured using Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends.  I then sanded them, to give them a rustic look.  The layered design part of the card is raised up from the card base, using Stampin' Dimensionals.

All of the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card are available to purchase from my online store.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, clicking on any of the thumbnail images below will take you direct to my store.  I would love for you to shop with me, if you live in Australia, and don't already have your own Stampin' Up! demonstrator.
