Post 120: Masculine Birthday Card

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a masuline themed birthday card today.

This is a top folding A2 size card. I added the panel in a lopsided tilted way to add interest, wanted it to look like office documents hence, added the 3 paper clips at the top. There are 3 colors here besides the neutrals- red, grey and blue. I distressed the edges of the panel to give it a hand torn look and added some stitch lines with a fine point black sharpie. The pattern papers used here are from The Gentleman collection by Papericious. I've used a red button to accent the banner. The sentiment is from Verve stamps and is die cut with a Gina Marie Designs stitched rectangle die. The die cut sentiment is from the Sizzix Tim Holtz Celebration Script words die set, I've colored it partially with black soot distress ink.
