Happy Birthday!


Like most card makers, I find it difficult to create a man's card.  I think I struck a balance with the blue card and the male element within the collage stamp.  This was for my partner's dad who is a keen gardener, so I think he appreciated the 'nature' aspect of the image.  I finished the main butterfly image with a clear gloss to lift the overall depth of colour and highlighted the pocket watch with metallic ink.  The butterfly and collage stamps are by Artemio.  Apologies for photo - I'll keep trying!
