Birthday Card for My Husband



This is a tribute to many of the things I won since early this year... Savannah O'Gwynn --Seasons of Giving--Momenta Metal (key and lock); Petaloo  & Core'denations --Back to School Hop--  Petaloo Premier "Spring Darjeeling foliage dark brown"; Quietfire Designs "You are Awesome"; Paper Crafter's Corner American Crafts Giveaway Winner! ----Crate Paper Notes and Things "88 Ephemeral pack".  Other items not won--Add A Little Dazzle "metal sheet"; Sizzix Textured Impressions "Clocks & Print Blocks Set"; Stampendous "Party Invite (happy birthday)"; DCWV "Timeless Texture Stack" and Heirloom Stack", Maya Road "Metal Vintage Trinket Love Hangars" & "Wood Bingo Motifs".

Xyron Creative Station was used to make stickers out of film strip, leaves, Xyron Runner to attach rest.  I used the Fiskars fuse with adapter plates with Metal Sheet for the clock.  I used my Spectrum Noir Pens to color in the tips of the leaves to make them pop.




 


I needed a masculine card and used the colors green and yellow (the picture doesn't do it justice, much closer in real life)  The filmstrip was the vertical element from the witch, and the bronze instead of black).  the clocks overlap like the o's in the work book, the leaves mimic the tree, and the star for the bat.
