Tomorrow is my father's 82nd birthday. I'm so glad we have another year to celebrate. He's doing well at home but it is a little work. He walks with a walker and there are certain things he can not do for himself and I'm so glad I'm here to help. The way I look at it is that he took care of me all those years now it's my turn to give back and I wouldn't have it any other way. With that being said I have a birthday card I made for him. I always struggle with masculine birthday cards and I figure simple is better, a no frills kinda card.
I used some My Mind's Eye paper and rounded the one end using a plate, traced it and cut it out. I attached it to a spring moss card base. I stamped some images from Vintage Label in spring moss onto vintage cream cardstock and layered it on dark chocolate. The sentiment it from Birthday Basics stamped in dark chocolate. I attached it by using some foam pop dots. I also rounded the bottom corner. See very simple and easy.
Stop back tomorrow when I share a birthday card I made for my mother.
