For the Game Enthusiast


 Here's a birthday card I made for my BIL who is a cards/game enthusiast. He likes to play poker, cards and board games, so this retired SU! dsp was made for his card. I cut the paper into strips and fishtailed the bottoms by using a hexagon punch and placed them on a red card base. The main panel and sentiment were cut using Gina Marie Designs dies and the birthday sentiment was cut with some red glitter paper. I added some black Nuvo drops randomly to finish this card.

I'm sharing with the AAA Birthday Game #55 - use a large sentiment.




I hope you're off to a good start of another week and thanks for stopping by!

Carol

What fun paper that is! And great for someone who likes to play poker and games. Paper can be the focal point when it is so perfect for the occasion. The glitter letters light up like Las Vegas!
