It was my uncle's birthday on Tuesday so, since he's a fellow dog lover, I whipped up this card for him. I think the look on this Gerda Steiner pooch's face represents pretty well how he feels about his birthday these days - he tolerates them but they certainly are not his favourite thing. :) I pulled out some more old Basic Grey papers for this card - this time Obscure. Finally putting all the oldies but goodies to work. I think I'll have to have a celebration if I ever totally use up a complete set of papers.
This card was inspired by the sketch at The Paper Players and the Animals these at Cupcake Inspirations.
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink, (Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Obscure 6x6) Basic Grey
Stamps: (Dog & sentiment from Howl Are You) Gerda Steiner, (Party hat from Hats Off to You) Lawn Fawn
Inks: (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukeniko
Embossing Powder: (Opaque Bright White Super Fine) Wow
Markers: (E33, E35, 100) Copic
Other: (Clear Wink of Stella) Zig
What an awesome masculine card!

This is hilarious, Jen. I love the look on his face and I pretty much feel about birthdays as your uncle does.
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle at your comment about using up a complete set of papers. Between me and my sister, I'm pretty sure we'd be able to open a store with all the papers we have; "Hi. My name is Bev and I'm a paperaholic." Your card will certainly make your uncle smile. What a cute grumpy image! Love his party hat, too. The paper really sets him off nicely! What a fun card! Bev
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love this card! I will never totally finish a paper pad, it seems.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet he loved it Jen, what a fun 'Uncle' card!
