CAS(E) This Sketch #274

I needed a masculine birthday card for Ken's brother's 80th birthday.  CAS(E) This Sketch provided the perfect format.

I had the embossed metallic piece in my WTDWT drawer and began with that.  The main panel is stamped with Waffle Flower's marble, heat embossing the second layer in platinum.  I had two white circles on my desk that were the perfect size so I glued them together and cut one in another color from my metallic pack to place on top.  The MFT numbers from the same paper as the embossed layer.  I wasn't sure how to include an additional sentiment so I left it off.  The inside says it all. ;)

There's a surprise party for the birthday boy tonight so we'll be spending time with family and friends and catching up since they don't all live close by.

Thanks for dropping by.

Addicted to Stamps and More #261

Here we go, people.  Your favorite Addicted to Stamps and More challenge. For your inspiration, not that you need any, I made this masculine card.

The background is marble from Waffle Flower.  I heat embossed the label in Platinum three times to get a smooth finish and then heat embossed the sentiment from HLS in black.  I placed the label on a couple of snippets from my stash.  You can see more details of this technique from Jennifer McGuire here.
