Happy Birthday, Dad!

This card is made, now posted, but still not to the recipient!  Not totally my fault, nor anybody's really.... Dad went on a short vacation to the coast for his Birthday, then I'll be at camp, so I won't be able to give it to him until shortly after I get home -- big BBQ get-together.  So, everybody, shhhh don't tell him you saw this first!  He isn't aware of my blog yet, so I'm pretty positive he won't find this til later.  Onto the card...


I stamped this little diddy, die cut the centerpiece and stamped it, then popped it up on foam tape.  This was originally for a color challenge, and I really struggled getting the red to work the way I wanted, then when I was finally done the challenge was over.  That's okay though because I didn't get it posted until late too.  Here's a close-up -


Supplies:
   Stamps - PTI Autumn Pieces, PTI Congrats stamp, Altenew Bday Greetings (inside), and PTI              Stylish Sentiments (inside)
   Die - PTI Congrats
   Ink - PTI Enchanted Evening, Blueberry Sky, Spring Rain, Pure Poppy

Thanks for stopping by, I have a few more cards coming, hopefully you'll see them posting through the next week. Thanks to everybody for your kind support of my blog!

What a great card for your dad, TK! I promise I won't tell him I saw it before he did, lol! Your blue color palette is fantastic. And I love how you've grouped the squares to make a great design with the different blues. While the challenge deadline may have passed, this is still a very cool masculine card. I'll bet lots of folks will be CASEing this one! Have a great weekend. Bev
