Seize the Birthday Challenge - #296 Masculine

Here it is the last challenge of 2024! Can you believe that? The time goes so fast, but we have the challenges to get use through. This challenge is mine and I have chosen masculine. Let's see what you do with that. 

Make sure it is a birthday theme, if you are not into toppings. 

My card!

A better angle to see the texture. 

 

The inside

For this card that will go to my grandson, Jack on his 20th birthday

 (how did that happen)

I used a digital image and printed it on Card stock. Then I used the alphabet dies from My Favorite Things to die cut his name. I think that you can see it in the photo. 

I added Glossy accents to the letters. The sentiment is computer generated. 

He loves all sports and there are lots of images on the internet. 

For those that want a masculine card, but want a simpler one, I have that too 

This card was made using an embossing folder by Altenew called foliage and the debossed side. 

I just sponged navy ink over the entire card and place a Happy Birthday die from Simon Says

SYB #281 Any Color plus Green

Time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday!

Nancy, our leader is the hostess for this challenge. 

She is asking us to pick a color, any color and add green.

Of course, neutral colors are allowed. 

If you are not into toppings, just make it a Birthday card! 

But if you use our topping, you may have a chance to be a quest designer. 

Here is my card for this challenge. As I needed a masculine birthday card, I went with this theme. 

I knew that I would choose blue to go along with the green for this challenge. I had already made a panel from Gina K Thick Brush stencil and used the poly-glaze foiling sheet too. That was my background panel. 

The die in the front is Spellbinder small die of the month, Gift Border

I die cut that from black shiny packaging. 

The bows are foil paper in green and gold.'

using master layouts from Gina K, I framed the card and popped out the gifts. 

Happy Day is from the same Spellbinder die.
