Masculine Birthday

I am sharing this post over at Stephanie's Blog for her Roses of Inspiration link up today.

 I thought this time I would share a masculine card.  These along with kids cards are the hardest for me to do, but I do like the way this one turned out.  I inked the sunset in the background with my distress inks and after cutting out the trees I put foam tape behind to give a little dimension and shadow to the trees, I think that was the most time consuming part of the whole card, trimming that tape small enough to fit behind the trees and border of the die cut.  Used distress inks on the deer and bird also.  I don't know if you can see but I added a bit of snow to the scene too with my Snow marker.  You put the marker on, let it dry and then heat it with your heat gun to make it puff up.

Oh I also added a little bit of pitt artist pen to the blue background for a touch of stars, but once I added the tree to the background you can hardly see them, really have to look close.

Well that is all for me today, I hope your all staying toasty warm, toward the end of the week we are suppose to have a nice warm up, so I am looking forward to that, yesterday's walk in those wind chills was not fun.

Thanks so much for taking the time out to stop by and for leaving your comments, I so enjoy hearing from you!
