My good friend Danny is celebrating his birthday today and I thought it was the perfect time to post his card here since it was already mailed out. Danny is a firefighter who lives in MD and is a motorcycle enthusiast, so I thought this image would be perfect for his card. It's done in teal, silver and black, and I thought the diamond plate embossing would be a great touch for a guy's card. I always save those brown protective stamp papers that my SU! stamps come with, and for this card I used that brown paper as a mask over the image and sponged around it. I thought it gave a sort of spotlight effect. I distressed the edges, added some square silver brads, and the sentiment is a sticker. That's a Tim Holtz texture fades embossing folder working the black in the background.Have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by today. And Danny, if you're lurking around, have a fabulous birthday!!
