DeNami Blog Hop: Cards for GUYS

Welcome to the DeNami Blog Hop!!
"Cards for GUYS"
Hopefully you are arriving from Suzanne's Blog.  If not, you will want to start at the beginning of the hop!


Not sure why guy cards are tough sometimes... maybe it's because I want to add glitter, rhinestones, ribbon and fluff!! I tried my best to keep this Happy Birthday card very "GUYish"
I stamped the chevron stamp from the Medium Borders set once and then twice more above and below to get the lighter/darker shades using only the Versafine Sepia ink.  I stamped Happy Birthday in Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder.   The nautical stamps were stamped using Versafine Majestic Blue.  Cardstock used: Kraft, Chocolate Brown, White, Navy.

The next stop on the Hop is to visit CAROL'S BLOG.
