#HB2u

Hello fellow crafters yes it's been a while but life, lost mojo and then the hot weather has meant no proper crafting for what seems like ages.

I have a new follow by email button on the sidebar as by now most of you will know that the Feedburner email subscription service is ending soon so please register if you'd like to carry on seeing what I create 😊

I really couldn't put off any longer to make this masculine birthday card so chose a simple CAS inked panel design.

Started by masking off the centre section on my card blank and brushed over squeezed lemonade DO ink.  Once dry I stamped random lower case letters in hickory smoke DO then changed to a versa mark ink pad and stamped some more brushing those with silver iridescent mica powder for a lighter shiny tone.

Showing the shine!

On top of the inked panel are die cut stitched circles with the on-line user acronym of Happy Birthday to you #HB2u stamped in black with clear EP and edged in black to make them stand out more.  Added thin strips of black card to edge the panel top and bottom and outlined any parts of 'stray' letters with a fine liner.

Finally I personalised the card with more silver iridescent mica powder.

I've used - 6x6" white card blank
TEXT{ures} by Lou Collins - Reflections lowercase & uppercase alphabet stamp sets
Distress Oxide inks - squeezed lemonade, hickory smoke
Cosmic shimmer iridescent silver mica powder
Unbranded stitched circle dies
