I'm baaaacck....

I have a birthday card to share this afternoon. It's for my really, really nice neighbor, Michael. He's so helpful with gardening tips and he's the one who helped me take down those two bird's nests a few weeks ago. So I wanted to do something nice for him. Naturally I made him a card. I drew inspiration from the current Colour Me Challenge, as well as Simon Says Stamp Wednesday. At SSS, we're to make a Father's Day or Masculine card, and at CMCC, there's a Monochromatic color scheme. Take a peek see.

   

This one came together pretty quickly:

I started with a Neenah white base, and used a scrap for the top part of the smaller panel. Using some Studio G pigment ink, I stamped the sentiment with a NBUS PTI set. Cut down a scrap of Gina K. white wood grain cardstock, which I then lightly colored with some MME ink. Really shows that grain, doesn't it?! Found a matchy-matchy scrap of the aqua cardstock, and added it. Four MME enamel dots, and done. Sure wish you could see this in person! Happy dances everyone!
