Grungy birthday wishes

Hello everyone

Today's card is one I made for a male friend who celebrated his birthday yesterday.

I always struggle with men's cards but I was quite pleased with how this one turned out.

Ingredients - 

• background bits - industrial stamp set from LOTV
• kraft card
• Tim Holtz collage paper pad
• canvas embossing folder from Crafter's Companion
• Tonic layering circles
• Die'sire happy birthday die
• walnut stain distress ink
• black magic core'dinations

I distressed and curled the edges of the papers and inked them with walnut stain distress ink.

After embossing I sanded back the core'dinations to reveal the core

Thank you for stopping by
