Lovely Birthday

I'm back to share a card which made quite a while ago for a male relative. Not sure about you, but with male cards I tend to keep them pretty simple.

I actually got my inspiration from this card. It's super easy to put together, I used 'Lovely as a Tree' and stamped it in soft suede, then stamped it again without inking it, to get the shadow. The sentiment is stamped in soft suede and is from 'Curly Cute'. I layered it onto some blue card I had in my stash and used crumb cake as my base. 

thanks for looking :)
