STAMPIN' UP! BIRTHDAY CARD FEATURING HE'S THE MAN DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

This week my youngest son turned 22.  He loves camping with his mates, so I thought the He's The Man DSP was ideal for his card this year.  I used the camping-patterned paper, and a die-cut Combi van from the sheet of die-cuts in the pack.

I love the playful font of the sentiment, from A Grand Kid.  I stamped it in Early Espresso ink on a piece of He's The Man DSP, then cut it out using an All That Die.  I sponged Sahara Sand ink around the edges of the sentiment label.  Rustic Metallic Dots are a great embellishment for masculine cards, don't you think?

I also used Rustic Metallic Dots as little "wheel caps" on the van.  On the strip of DSP that serves as  road, I stamped (in Sahara Sand ink) a couple of small images from Beauty of Friendship, to ground the tyres.

Some die cuts that complement the whole theme of the card are a couple of trees, cut from Soft Succulent and Sahara Sand card, using Majestic Mountain Dies, and an Early Espresso "mountain range" made with Basic Borders Dies.

Listed below are all the products I used to make Ethan's card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
