Fun Masculine Birthday Card

This card is for my future son-in-law. Masculine cards can be difficult and my go-to for men is fun and whimsical. I achieved that by using two old favorites: Photoplay Fetch combined with Simon Says Stamp Stacking Animals. I love that bird!

My Process:

• I started by stamping the silly dog and bird, then colored them with Copics and lastly die cut them.
• The background is both fun and vibrant. I ink blended distress ink onto watercolor paper and then I “bleached” circles for a bokeh look. For the bleaching, I took a circle stamp, painted water on with a paint brush and then stamped the circle onto my background.
• I then made a frame using Altenew’s Rounded Rectangle Dies and stamped my sentiment.
• I assembled using lots of foam tape.

The “Fetch” Dog Stamp is also available on Amazon:
