Good morning!I'm the hostess for the StampTV sketch challenge this week and wanted to share my project with you this morning on my blog. I'll share the other card I made with my sketch tomorrow - but I already showed it in the challenge thread that you can find here.
I pulled out Basic Grey's Offbeat paper pack & embellishments to make this birthday card. I was TRYING to make it masculine... do you think I pulled it off? I have such a hard time with masculine cards because a card just doesn't feel finished unless it has ribbon, buttons & pierced scallops somewhere on it! lol!
Here's a closeup of the golf bag paper pieced with that lovely Basic Grey paper...
I stamped the golf bag from Rupa's King of the Grill stamp set 3 times in Black Versafine ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. A few copic markers helped to define the layers and details. Then, I took my detail scissors and cut each layer out.
The 'happy birthday!' sentiment comes from GinaK's Tag, You're it! stamp set. Then, I took some white grosgrain ribbon, the 'dad' sentiment from Rupa's King of the Grill and my black Stazon ink pad and made my own specialized ribbon! I used the same ribbon for the inside...
To help seal the white ribbon that I taped across the front corner of the card, I attached another piece of Offbeat paper. It helps to finish the card off too. Here's the full view of the inside...
I hope you can join us for the challenge - it runs until next Thursday.
Have a great day!

Great card!! Masculine cards are so very hard. I love the way that it looks.
You have inspired me to begin decorating the insides of my cards -- not always, but I am trying! This card for Dad is great -- love all the pains you took making it! It really shows that you care.
