I have an absolutely wonderful brother. Aside from some pretty minor spats as children, we've always gotten along well and enjoy each other's company. We don't often have much time together, but talk on the phone regularly. Today is his 60th birthday, and although I won't be there to help celebrate, I do know a huge birthday feast is being prepared. Here's the card I sent.
The idea for the card came from two different cards I saw online, one by Nicole Heady and another by Ingrid Danvers. I die cut the Fillable Frames 4 from the center of the Dark Chocolate cardstock and then embossed it with Papertrey's Woodgrain Impression plate. I rubbed some Walnut Stain Distress Ink over it to bring out the grain. I adhered that to the Blueberry Sky card base with dimensional tape, and after stamping the Frame with stamps from Fillable Frames 4, Birthday Bash Sentiments, and Outline Alphabet I adhered it to the cardstock. Here's a closer look.
It seemed a bit stark, so I added some Dark Chocolate Twine and a Dark Chocolate button to finish it off. I like the sentiments on the inside, too.
The top one is from Birthday Bash Sentiments and the bottom one from Fillable Frames 1. I love how the sentiments and images from different Papertrey sets work together. It makes them so much more versatile.
