Wednesday - downhill now, to the weekend!

Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... I seem to be on a bit of a roll with masculine birthday cards right now - but, since I make cards for quite a few men during the year, it's hard to see this as a "bad" thing! In fact, it's good to have some in reserve AND ... always good to use some old stash again, isn't it?

My DL card and, for a change,
NOT a CAS card either!!!!

And a closer view of the inking and background detail

Materials used:

• Cream textured linen, 300gsm, DL card and matching white envelope
• 300gsm card in cream and deep brown, cut to fit/mat, for my card front and insert
• Snippets of both card colours, for my image panel
• Using Memento rich cocoa ink and a Tim Holtz mini blending brush I added colour around the outer edges of the cream panels for my card front and insert
• Overlaying my Memory Box grid stencil (88517) I added just a little random stencilling to diagonally opposing corners, for added interest
• Art Impressions skeleton clock face (J2611 - certainly in my stash by 2011) stamped using Distress Oxide in antique linen
• On my cream snippet I stamped my Rubbadubbadoo pocket watch (Elderly stamp with NO reference and I can't find the Australian website any longer to seek one out, my stamp is dated 2002) using Versafine Clair pinecone ink
• HLS sentiment (from Doodled flowers) stamped using Versafine Clair pinecone ink
