When you see my card, you might not think it's masculine, but it's for this birthday boy. He's one of the bartenders at the Celtic Ray.
Needless to say I had fun creating it with the Buffalo Check Stamp Set and Whiskey Business Stamp Set!
My card base is Smoky Slate with a mat of Petal Pink. I drew the lines with my Basic Gray Stamp N Writer Marker (my ruler slipped in one place...ugh!) and sponged the plaid with Petal Pink ink. I cut a strip of DSP from the In Good Taste DSP and adhered it at the bottom.
The whiskey bottle and glass had previously been made when I created this card. Just click on the link to see the details.
The inside is stamped with a sentiment from the Happiest of Birthdays Stamp Set.
I used my Petal Pink Stamp N Write marker for part of it and my Basic Gray marker for the rest. The glass is Smoky Slate stamped off once and the lemon peel is Crushed Curry, which I wish I had stamped off once!
Today I'm playing at:

DeleteHa! That is PERFECT! Absolutely wonderful design and colors for your friend. He's going to love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary. I hope I see him again to find out. He has started his own lawn business, has a restaurant business and I wonder if he has time to bartend!
