... Hello! It's been quite a while since my last post. I really thought I'd got it together, but it turned out not to be the case. However, I'm determined to get back to making cards - I've got hardly any left in my stash! So, today I'm sharing a card that I made for our son, Ben. Ben is 30 years old on Tuesday - I'm safe sharing it now, as he doesn't look at my blog!! Here's the card:
Stamps: MFT - Bitty Birthday Wishes, Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings
Inks: Gina K - Red Velvet, Stormy Sky; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
Dies: SU - Large Number Framelits
Accessories: Waffle Flower Stencil - Layered Triangles; Graphite Grey Mirri Card; Gina K Card - Red Velvet; White Card
I'm submitting this card to Color Hues - CH#124, great colours for a guy, AAA Birthday - AAAB#81, Winter birthday theme, and Inkspirational - INK#358, where they want shine.
This stencil is great for a masculine card. I did the first layer in red and the second in grey. I trimmed the panel to be slightly smaller than an A2 (US size card) card. I stamped a simple birthday greeting in grey, and finished the front with a bold, shiny number 30. I die cut two numbers from mirri card (so hard to photograph), along with several in white card which I layered up to give the number some depth. On the inside, I used what was left of the ink on the stencil to make a second generation image. On top of that I stamped a fun birthday greeting.
I've posted the card to Ben and, hopefully, he should get it by Tuesday. It's hard to believe he's 30 years old.
Before I go, I'd just like to wish everyone a Happy New Year - I'm sure this will be the latest one in the year. See you soon.

Deborah, I'm always looking for new ways to create masculine cards and I absolutely love yours! The stencil is fabulous in red and gray, and adding the large 30 in silver is the perfect finish. Fabulous card for your son, I hope he has a great day. Thank you so much for joining us at Color Hues!
Happy to see you back at it. This is a great masculine card idea and layout, Deborah! Love the pop of shine! Thanks for playing at Color Hues.
What a great card for a guy, Deborah! And a perfect way to use these colors! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Color Hues!
Debra, I'm in the same boat. I haven't been making any cars the last couple years and my stash is low. I think the card that you created for your son is so so cool perfect for a 30-year-old. My son turned 31 this past Monday. Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues!
Super masculine card and I'm so happy our challenge kickstarted your return to cardmaking. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
Great card and colour scheme.
