93rd Birthday

Hi and welcome.  I'm the hostess over at Freshly Made Sketches this week but this is a quick post because I've got some things to deal with in real life.

This card was made a few months ago for my dad's 93rd birthday.  I thought it would work for my sketch so I based my sketch off it.


For a very quick explanation, I used stencils and soft ink-blending for the muted background and ink-blended die-cuts for the focal point.


Thanks for visiting.  I hope you'll check out the wonderful cards made by the rest of the design team and have a go yourselves.

Stamps: To the Wise One (Honey Bee Stamps), Mini Messages & More (MFT)
Ink: Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide, Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs, Tea Dye, Frayed Burlap, Scorched Timber, Speckled Egg, Iced Spruce Distress Ink

Karren

Such a great sketch and I love the masculine feel and Western theme. I'm sure your Dad loved this card. Take good care, Karren!
