Snappy Birthday

Sometimes easy can be beautiful.


Today's card uses an older stamp set -Shark Bites by Newton's Nook Designs. I used a little Distress Oxide ink on a sponge in the background with colors Broken China and Tumbled Glass.  I stamped the image with Black Momento and then  colored with Stamping' Blends Light Sea Side Spray, Dark Sea Side Spray, and Light Night of Navy.

Once all was dried I centered the largest Stitched Die on it and Die-cut it out and mounted on a regular card base. I added a small stamp image to the inside to leave plenty of room for a note.

I've been pairing all my cards with envelopes, lately.  This one I was able to add some fun to Shark images to the front.  I am always looking for a more masculine card and I think I've found it here.  Be sure to leave a comment on how you are  creating beautiful, easy cards.
