Adding a masculine birthday card to my stash, I decided to focus on the word sentiment with the SimonSaysStamp Chunky Happy word die. I cut some strips of “scrap” 65 lb cardstock and glued it to a piece of copy paper then die cut the sentiment from the stripes, die cut the outline again from the pale blue cardstock and die cut the shadow from a sand colored cardstock. The layering panel was splattered with gold and brown inks/paints and for good measure a perfect pearls spray too. Of course all of that warped my card pretty badly and the ivory cardstock base was not of the heaviest weight but I think adding an inner panel of some better weight will help balance the weight. After adhering the word die, cut apart a sentiment strip and added a few enamel dots to complete my card.

I will be sharing my card today with:
