Masculine birthdays - 2

Quick post here to show you my next masculine card - for my husband - and often-times 'consultant' in my cardmaking room - as in:  what more does this card need? or which is the best colour for this? or even more scientific questions such as what colour are most rabbits? (I don't pay much attention to that kind of detail!).  So when I asked him what he'd like on his card, he said:  Happy Birthday! lol!  So here is his happy birthday card, with lots of wishes for many, many more.  The tree stamp by Penny Black (called Reverie) has been heat embossed with clear embossing powder, and has just enough shine on it to stand out as a recessed circle focus.  I will trim that twine a little as soon as I finish this post!
 
I am entering this card in Addicted to CAS (It's Raining Men) and Less is More (Paper Piercing).

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...

Wow!  Where has the year gone already?  We will soon be caught up with the 'busyness' of Christmas, summer and holidays no doubt, so I'm happy to welcome you to this month's Blog Hop and Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - let's have fun while we can! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  amazing blog but if you didn't and want to start at the beginning, just click on the SBB blog link above and start again!   Here is this month's gorgeous mood board, to inspire you!  It may be the butterflies, the colours, the designs - whatever takes your fancy!  I love using butterflies in my cards, so I was very happy with this challenge!  I was inspired by the idea of drifts of butterflies and those lovely pink colours! To create my stencil for the background butterflies, I punched from acetate a small butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch, and sponged the negative space with Distress Inks - either Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick, movin...
