Birthday RAK

I made this card in response to a SCS member who requested birthday cards for a gentleman who's turning 94 next month. I stamped and embossed this image a few days ago and had it lying on my table, so I thought it would be perfect for the occasion. You can click on the photo to see more detail. I embossed the image with chocolate brown EP and then used a small brush and some bleach to lighten the cabin. I added a few punched reindeer to keep with the cabin-in-the-woods theme and then added a few antique brass eyelets for masculine interest. I hope this card brings a smile to a young-at-heart fellow whom I'll most likely never meet. RAK's are a great way to make people feel cared for :)
Have a wonderful Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!
