STAMPIN' UP! BROADWAY BIRTHDAY & BRIGHTLY GLEAMING MASCULINE BIRTHDAY CARD #2

This birthday card, made for my nephew, features my current favourite colour combo of Night of Navy, Copper, and Very Vanilla.  I've used two of the fabulous papers from the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper pack; great for guy cards, don't you think?

I've taken  a couple of close-up shots of some of the copper elements, so you can get a better "view" of them.  I stamped the birthday boy's age in Celestial Copper Delicate ink.  You can best see the shimmer on the "4".

In this photo, you can also better see the shimmer of the Celestial Copper Delicata Ink, and the lovely shine of the Copper Foil die cut:

STAMPIN' UP! BROADWAY BIRTHDAY & BRIGHTLY GLEAMING MASCULINE CARD

After making my son's birthday card, I came up with a couple of other masculine birthday cards, using different papers from the Brightly Gleaming paper collection.

Here is the card I made for a friend whose birthday is the same day as Ethan's (or, more accurately, on whose birthday Ethan was born!):

Until I opened this pack of paper, I had barely used copper on my cards.  I am loving the navy and copper colour combination.  Here's a closer shot of the copper-embossed dots on the stamped "WISH":

STAMPIN' UP! TRANQUIL TEXTURES MASCULINE 18TH BIRTHDAY CARD

I bought the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper pack with masculine cards in mind.  Today a special young man turns 18, so I broke open a few new products to make his card.

After stamping the circle from Swirly Frames, in Crumb Cake ink on Whisper White card, I inked up the 'streamers' from Birthday Backgrounds in Mint Macaron ink.  I stamped off onto scrap paper first, then onto the Whisper White circle.

I wanted Night of Navy stars, so used the Dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blends marker to colour a few white stars from the Metallic Sequins assortment.  I placed a small Mint Macaron Faceted Dot in the centre of each star.

The die cut "18" was made with the now-retired Large Numbers Framelits.  Everything else I used on the card is current, and is listed below.  If you would like to purchase these products for yourself, and you live in Australia, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
