Stampin' Up! Wildlife Wonder Masculine Birthday Card

Welcome to the Happy Inkin' Thursday blog hop. You're in for a treat if you have never visited before. It's a weekly challenge and this week we have a sketch challenge. Here is what I created for it...

and here is our sketch...

I used the Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set to create my card. Because it's masculine, I'm entering it in the Inspire.Create.Challenge #117.

My card base is Starry Sky. The photo doesn't show it very good but I embossed a panel of Starry Sky with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

Next I cut a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and stamped the bear on it in Early Espresso ink. I used my Stamparatus so I could get a really dark image. I colored parts of him with my Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. I used the Starry Sky and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers to stamp the flowers and grass.

I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky on a scrap of DSP and cut it with the Banners Punch. I adhered a piece of Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim with glue dots and then the sentiment with liquid glue. I adhered the art panel with Stampin' Dimensionals. Three Brass Brushed Butterflies finished the front.

For the inside...

I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky ink, another flower the same as the front and added a strip of the DSP. I also sponged the Basic White panel with Pool Party ink.
