Masculine Birthday

I have been catching up on sketch challenges I am behind on. so I should have several post the next few days.

I needed a Masculine Birthday Card for my BIL, and sketch SC175 for SCS.

I had fun I like the way the red circle halves turned out. I think I should have written bolder the Happy Birthdays around the edges..you can see them if you look close.

I embossed with "D'vine Swirl" and "Swiss Dots".

It took me a bit to decide what color to mat the image from "Wildlife Reserve" with, but I settled on Old Olive. I used a bit of linen thread to tie around the base, I almost used soem brads but decided to pass. I colored the Elk/deer with watercolor wonder crayons. I used the EE colors. I love them for coloring images and they seem like they will last forever..

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!
