Happy birthday

Hi everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a birthday card which I made for the March challenge over at Country View Challenges. 

This month I am hosting the challenge and because it is my birthday in March I chose the theme 'birthday card' with the added demand that it has to be a birthday card for a man. Yes, I know, we all struggle with that. For my first project I have used only pattern paper and one stamp. 

Here's how I made this quick and easy card:

This is the paper I chose to make my card. It's by Stamperia. Susan at Country View Crafts has a very good selection of Stamperia products. 

First I used this ink pad to colour the edges of my white card blank. It fits better with the colours I am using. 

I cut out a panel, a piece of paper for the sentiment and a triangle that I thought would look great as a party hat. The man is an ephemera sticker, also from the same collection.

I found these circles also in the ephemera pack and decided to put them onto the panel. 

Next I used this stamp set by AALL & Create for the sentiment. 

Here is the panel all ready to go on the card. 

And here it is all finished. I think it looks great. 

Please come over to Country View Challenges and play along with us. Just make sure to read the RULES before you do. I will be back in a couple of days with another masculine card. I might even do a video! 

Thank you for stopping by today.
