Happy 60th Birthday...

I just wanted to share this one with you - it was my cousins birthday back in September, and when the invitation for his party came, it had this beautiful picture on it from when he was younger (quite a bit younger!!) The picture reminds me so much of my Ollie, that I really wanted to incorporate it in to his birthday card some how.

My most loyal customer (you know who you are!!) sent me a picture a few weeks previously of a stunning card she had found whilst 'surfing', and I used this as my starting point.


It was quite time consuming as I cut each wooden plank and sponged the edges of each one, to give it more depth.  The 'rust' was made using white card and sponging with Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.  I then used the Gorgeous Grunge stamps and added Baked Brown Sugar and Tangelo Twist (recommended colour was Cajun Craze but I haven't got that - yet!!).

I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and I hope it made my cousin smile when he opened it!

 Will be back tomorrow with some more christmassy bits!

Happy Stampin'
