Birthday Wishes

Here is a male birthday card I have made.  I have used the Visible Image stamp set called "Max Rocks".  I have coloured the image in with my Graph'it pens and had a go at colouring denim which is the topic this week at the Graph'it challenge.  I have then used a mask I made of Max and stamped the chain that comes in the set with sepia Versafine and then inked around with Tim Holtz's Pumice Stone distress ink.

The backing papers I have used are from the Bearly Mine Designs Steampunk Fantasy 2 set.  I have gone around the edge of the papers with a gold Pentouch pen.  I have embossed some brown card with a Tim Holtz cog embossing folder and then inked over with Tim Holtz's Pumice Stone distress ink.

I have finished the card off with some brown string, Craftwork Cards sentiment and some die-cut buttons.
