The Waves on the Sea Masculine Birthday Card

7:59 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Thursday Friends!! I hope all is well with you all!! I am blessed to have my parents here for a vist!! Life has been busy but fun!!! I am so cherishing the time we are spending together!!!

Today I would like to pop in share a card I created.

I just had to break away from my more feminine cards to make a masculine birthday card for my dear hubby's birthday next week. Hopefully he likes it....

Our Daily Bread Designs, the Waves on the Sea, The Mighty Sea, Fishing Net Background, Chris Olsen

For my card I used Waves on the Sea and Fishing Net Background to be released on May 1 from Our Daily Bread Designs as well as The Mighty Sea

The background is embossed with SU basket weave. For some added texture, I added burlap. The top of the banner panel is embossed with soft swirls from Provocraft.

I hope you are inspired by my creation!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day!! Thanks to all who leave comments, I so enjoy your kind words. They make my day!!

blessings,

Have fun with your parents!
